Gary,
I like simple. To be clear, is this the sequence you're proposing?
- Now that I've deleted backports from my sources.list, run `aptitude
install emacs24` and so forth through the list.
- Then run `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
- Reboot into Jessie.
The alternative seems to be
- Run `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
- Run `aptitude install emacs24` and so forth through the list.
- Reboot into Jessie.
The first sounds correct, but this isn't fully a Jessie system yet, and
I'd be reinstalling packages that only came with dist-upgrade.
Thanks,
Bill
