Yeah, this is fine and I am using apt, aptitude or synaptic, just the one I like in the moment. And the upgrade works perfectly. But doing so, this appeared another problem: The latest kernel (2.6.18-4-amd64) inhibits to load selfcompiled (and/or propritrary moduls). I my case it was "fglrx" (this is the ATI 3d-accelerator) and "acer_acpi" (which is needed on my notebook to activate the wlan-on/off-switch). Both inhibit to load with the same error: versions mismatch. With version 2.6.18-3-amd64 everything is working fine. (Of course I had the correct headers and sources installed) So I went back to the older kernel, well, the newest is not always the best working... Anyway, best regards and thanks for the help !
