Sometime, I am "overly cautious".
I know and I usually do not bother this caution. But, "it should work
without doing this" does not mean always work. In order to minimize
hussle, I tend to upgrade basic package first when I upgrade whole
system. First, perl, libc6, libdb2. Then move to apt to avoid
dependancy problems.
Some gnome package may give strange problem if their dependancy are not
precise.
I said "if you have choice". I can say if you are "too worried" or
if you want to be on "extremely safe side". That is what I meant.
These fundamental system packages went through major upgrade recently.
testing is a testing, ... It does not harm to be cautious. Cheers :-)
