What it really needs to do is install all the _dependencies_ of the new versions of apt and dpkg first. I tried doing apt-get dist-upgrade from stable to testing, and it got hung up when it installed the new version of apt before installing libdb3, which is used by apt. I ended up having to download the libdb3 deb and install it manually with dpkg -i. Ron Steinke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
