So, what did you do exactly? I am asking, because upgrading from Lenny
to sid is *not* as easy as replacing "lenny" with "sid" in your
sources.list and running "apt-get dist-upgrade".
It is a much better idea to follow the process outlined in the release
notes [1] in order to upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze. You can upgrade to
sid afterwards.
It would be great if you could save the attached script and provide the
output of the following command:
# for dist in lenny squeeze sid; do
echo $dist;
list_repositories | grep $dist | wc -l;
done
That will give us an idea of how many packages have been upgraded and
how many are still in some kind of limbo. Once we are sure that you have
indeed upgraded your complete system to sid (why sid anyway?) we can
start working on your performance problems.
