When I upgraded to woody from potato, I had to do a series of:
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
then:
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
For some reason. I just kept doing this and eventually got there. Obviously there
are some dependency problems that aren't resolved yet regarding the upgrade. However,
I did this several months ago, so things may have changed.
Definitely have the equivalent to this in /etc/apt/sources.list:
# main archive
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
# crypto stuff
deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
It is also possible that you will need to grab a few sid packages. Just add:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list, then do:
apt-get update
apt-get install <package that isn't available in woody>
Once you get that, comment the above lines out, and rerun 'apt-get update' then try:
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install
as needed. Eventually you will get there. There is probably a better way, but I know
this works as I have done it.
