Evening All
For anyone who is interested an update on the trials and tribulations of my
Debian install/upgrade.
I reinstalled potato, and (thank you to Martin) I then upgraded Perl to
unstable to get v 5.6. Then rather than do a dist-upgrade to unstable I
changed to testing (woody). It took a few goes but it seems to have
worked.
regards
Steven
