This (and many other similar issues) seems to make a pretty good argument for releasing potato as Debian3.0 and making it very clear that this is a *major* upgrade. If people install some potato packages and _not_ glibc2.1 they will have problems too.. perhaps what we should do is have a debian3.0-upgrade metapackage, which has dependancies on all the major package upgrades required to make a smooth transition from slink. just another 2c down the slot.. best, Ron.
