This behavior is not encountered when dist-upgrading with apt-get.
apt-get directly deinstalls libvte4, upgrade livte-common and installs libvte9.
I think then this is more a strange behavior introduced by aptitude. I will then
give a word about this in the release-note.

I don't think so. The first thing I did was precisely to upgrade apt dpkg and
aptitude to the lenny version and only after I tried to dist-upgrade. But it
didn't work. Thus, in this case, upgrading apt before dist-upgrading was of no help.

Hi,
I have a log that looks very very similar to yours (same packages
removed/installed/upgraded, same aptitude score, same packages with unmet
dependencies). Did you go through the end of installation of dpkg aptitude and
apt ? And did you do the dist-upgrade after that ?

It seems that, when dist-upgrading to lenny, the upgrade of mount fails if there
are NFS filesystems mounted. The new version of mount requires that nfs-common
be upgraded before NFS mounts will work. This is then solved by umounting NFS
mounts before upgrading.
Hi,
I have been able to reproduce this problem (and apply the solution). I have
filled a bug against the release-notes package to ask if it needs to be
documented in the release note. See Bug#503963.

Yes, it worked. 'aptitude install gs-common' and then 'aptitude dist-upgrade'
