I'd say it's more like I occasionally do an update when there *aren't* broken packages. :) Anyway, the approach I've always taken is to upgrade first, and then if a heaping pile of things are broken, try a dist-upgrade before resorting to digging into the mess by hand. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
