I got it too, just tracking sarge too

HTH,
Thanks Joris, it does help.

Wow, we're going to get another point release. This is my first point-release upgrade with Debian. I'm excited.

But not so excited that I want the upgrade right *now*. I'll let the rest of you kind and courageous people test it out first :)

Yes, I know this is not Sid, but I read with interest the many posts covering the Xorg upgrade. I could practically hear the yelping.



Hi Sumo,

I have gone through the update (without giving much thought I have to
admit) and there was no trouble here. I guess I didn't give a second
thought because of the good record updating Debian has with me. I always used to run unstable; sometimes I had (minor) problems, but before Sarge
turned stable, I switched from testing to stable, together with a few
backported packages. Ever since I do an apt-get update/upgrade from time
to time and had no hiccup ever.


Except...
when sudo did its Sarge upgrade and necessitated a change to sudoers that was not (AFAIK) warned about and synaptic suddenly no longer ran.

But I do the same: most often Sarge update/upgrade without a backup first...
