Re: Installing advanced library versions safely?
Thanks for the reply! Still a few questions, though, after trying some
of this...

Thanks, I didn't know that. Might have waited a long time. :-)

I was too, but I got impatient...

apt-get doesn't appear to understand 'build-deps'. Are you sure this
functionality exists in potato? In any case, I already have libxml1
installed, and I'm not sure I really need the ability to build it.

The apt-get command wants to upgrade 41 packages, install 19 new ones,
and remove 74 -- getting a total of 27.1MB of archives. This is not
quite what I expected!? Did I do something wrong? By "point apt at
woody", I assumed you meant *just* at woody, not *also* at potato.
That's what I tried, anyway (after saving a copy of
/var/lib/dpkg/status, having learned a lesson yesterday).

The new apt sounds excellent, I look forward to (somehow) getting it
installed here!
