Okay, I will now be running the same test. Actually, I've noticed in the way that the apt in woody successfully upgrades the system without removing X. However, doing the upgrade using apt in potato would fail. Thus, doing # apt-get install apt dpkg # apt-get dist-upgrade before doing the upgrade would be successful, but just doing # apt-get dist-upgrade will be quite unsuccessful :P (something to add to the release notes?) Anyway, the output is as below (if it's of any help) : Script started on Wed Oct 24 18:28:32 2001 bash-2.03# apt-get -u -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists...
