How about broken postinsts? I've seen a variety of issues coming from that, including broken alternatives, wedged dpkg databases, initscripts that are not properly restarted, and more. While those issues are not fun in a chroot (but can be dealt with there), I don't want to think about what could happen with them in the system root. Granted, it doesn't happen all that often, but it's a bitch when it does; and if it breaks while I'm doing a manual upgrade, at least I can fix it right away. -- Fun will now commence -- Seven Of Nine, "Ashes to Ashes", stardate 53679.4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
