Done. I now have only Debian Woody and Sid and Libranet Cedar left. I
also discovered that netselect-apt was no longer installed on my system
but the package was in the cache. I don't know how that could have
happened.

I have a project I must finish but I was overoptimistic. I don't have
three weeks; I have eight days.

I had a Sarge system before it changed.
Libranet had me updating from Woody, Sarge, Sid, experimental, a snapshot,
and Libranet itself. I don't know what I could call this combination but
fortunately I never had a non-functional system.
Thanks.
