Are you in the > habit of checking for bugs on *every* package before upgrading it? I'm not. Hi Rick, as you suggest, I dont check for bugs before upgrading. But I do check after, if there is a problem. And I would make a note in my question to the list that I did query the bts and that it did not match bug X,Y or Z so that we know what you tried and that you felt it didnt relate to those bugs, thus I would know that checking the BTS was already done by you. The more info, the better all of us can help. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
