Yeah. We all were much younger back then.

I wonder why
  apt full-upgrade
does not perform the step
  apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs
automatically.
I understand from its man page that it is mainly a frontend for some
specialized "apt-*" commands which reserves the freedom to do things
without having to stay backwards compatible with old use cases.


Whatever, the problems which i encountered with my Sid were due to
9 years of cruft and a little hack to keep old stuff running a few
years ago.
(I still have an old hard disk with Lenny. Possibly i could get it
to boot. But it would not be able to do remote shell with Trixie.)


Have a nice day :)
