Hello I am running 'testing', upgraded from potato a few days ago.
Two questions: 1. Why are packages kept back like follows? $ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/main Release Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/contrib Packages Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/contrib Release Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/non-free Packages Hit http://security.debian.org potato/updates/non-free Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/main Packages Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/main Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Packages Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Packages Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/main Sources Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/main Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Sources Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/contrib Release Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Sources Hit http://non-us.debian.org testing/non-US/non-free Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Packages Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Packages Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Sources Ign http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Sources Ign http://http.us.debian.org testing/contrib Release Hit http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Sources Ign http://http.us.debian.org testing/non-free Release Reading Package Lists...
