IIRC, if the package structure changes, e.g. some packages get split up and others are added, then "upgrade" won't handle that and only upgrade the packages you have installed. "dist-upgrade" handles this case more intelligently. However, since the package structure in potato (stable) won't change, "dist-upgrade" and "upgrade" have the same effect. An "upgrade" on woody or sid might leave your system broken, though. So, if you "upgrade" to woody, better use "dist-upgrade". :) Cheers, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
