I would include just the ~blade line for xfree86, my backport lines for
gnome2.2, and official woody. Then do:
apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade
This should show you everything that will be upgraded. Feel free to say
yes unless packages you want are being removed. If you did the above,
now do:
apt-get install gnome-core gdm gtk2-engines*
Hopefully this will get you there. If not, make sure that something
isn't being pinned in /etc/apt/preferences or a setting in
/etc/apt/apt.conf isn't holding things up. If all this fails, post the
complete output of apt-get to the list.
Most of my upgrades have been from gnome1.4 on official woody. However,
one of my computers I upgraded from the gnome2.0 backport on woody
without problems (though configuration in .gnome2, etc wasn't quite
right-- though easy to fix).
