I have upgraded from slink to potato, using only dpkg command line just
last week. Even though I was a non-believer, I didn't have a _single_
fallout, everything worked like a charm, but I have updated the whole
base system as starters. Now, a great majority of my system is potato,
but for your reference, here is what I would do as a minimum (_please_
wait until someone else confirms this, I wouldn't want to mess up your
system):
ldso_1.9.11-4
libc6_2.1.2-5
libncurses4_4.2-3.3
bash_2.02.1-1.8
ncurses-base_4.2-3.4
ncurses-bin_4.2-3.3
dpkg_1.4.1.13
Those packages I installed first, prior to going on with the rest of the
base, and I didn't have any problems. I still run Navigator 4.61
compiled for libc6 (because I can't get Navigator 4.7 libc6-2.1 version
in a deb package) and StarOffice 5.1 which used to run off libc6.
Good luck,
damir
