I understand that. What I'm concerned about is that aptitude (or apt-get) will upgrade itself, dpkg and initramfs-tools - and then get confused about the unknown package states. I have no idea how severe this would be, but the conflicts were probably added with a reason. But probably it is as Andrei said and the release notes will tell to upgrade aptitude first. Though 70% (?) of the users don't read the release notes and then come and scream in the debian-user* lists. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
