Re: Sarge Upgrade DEBOCLE ! ! !
True, compared to other operating system upgrades this is not that
bad. And no, I don't know if Slashdot reports the upgrade results of
other Linux distributions or other operating systems. It just seems
to me that this release was not up to Debian standards. I did not
experience anything like this when I upgraded from potato to woody.
And that xserver-rage128 is not third party. It may be from a 2.1
version but this box is all Debian. Maybe legacy Debain but Debian
never-the-less and nothing else.
