It means that the package has to be reinstalled from unstable, right? I have updated my sources.list so that it points to unstable too. bdg:~# apt-get install modutils Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libc6 libc6-dev libdb2 libdb2-util 5 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 210 not upgraded. Need to get 177kB/5996kB of archives. After unpacking 8225kB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] It seems that libc6 has to be upgraded too; what are the consequences of having unstable libs on a stable machine? Well, actually, my question is: what unstable packages do you have to install on a stable machine in order to have the machine having 2.4.4 kernel and be able to run it smoothly? I'd like to do "apt-get dist-upgrade", but having read those horror stories.... Is there any way to upgrade "piecemeally" so that if some libraries create some error then it would be easy to step back a bit (and having be able to boot the machine, of course). TIA, Oki
