Mass upgrades in the middle of a transition are always going to be troublesome. Or you could sit back and wait for KDE3 to hit sid, in which case all these problems will become serious bugs that will (hopefully) get fixed more quickly. Sit back and enjoy the ride, this is sid :) > /usr/bin/apt-get -y -d dselect-upgrade > Reading Package Lists... Done > Building Dependency Tree...

It bitches at me if I try to put them on hold manually. Don't upgrade? Or use aptitude, since it seems to listen more carefully to me when I say 'don't upgrade this package'. > Phil > (Yes, I would love to downgrade to testing, but dselect doesn't know what > to do when required packages don't exist in "more-stabler" distros.) Use aptitude or apt? I bet there's a way to make dselect do it, but I've no idea how. -rob
