The etch libc6 Conflicts: initrd-tools (<< 0.1.84.1), however the etch initrd-tools *IS* 0.1.84.1. So yeah, there is a problem (supposedly fixed in sid) with conflict resolution. As it turns out, you can continue to use 2.6.8 on an etch machine, as long as you keep hotplug and don't install udev.
Excuse me, it seems this only happens when you do "aptitude -f install aptitude" (as the release notes suggest) (actually, it'll happen when you install anything that depends on libc6). "aptitude -f dist-upgrade" alone, using sarge's aptitude, tries to remove all kernels. So, should the release notes not encourage people to install an updated aptitude before dist-upgrading? As a workaround, I did find that if you "aptitude -f install initrd-tools", it just updates initrd-tools and no other packages. So: 1. aptitude -f install initrd-tools 2. aptitude -f install aptitude 3. aptitude -f dist-upgrade This procedure allows you to upgrade aptitude before the main dist-upgrade, but it when done in this order, does not delete your kernels.
