Hmm.  That's good to hear.  I remember when I decided to change my repositories from Sarge to Etch, and tried to upgrade (many months ago), I encountered a broken system with impossible to install circular dependencies.  I briefly moved to PCLinuxOS, before venturing back and freshly installing Etch.  Anyway, things seem pretty good now, and I'm glad to hear the upgrade went well.  Etch is currently the best of all distros out there, I feel.
