Why don't you do `apt-get upgrade'? I am under the impression that `apt-get dist-upgrade' is only meant to be used when you are switching from one distribution to another, e.g. from woody to sarge. Also, you do an automatic update at night and a manual upgrade in the morning. I wonder if things can go (slightly) wrong because of the time span in between. Some packages may have gotten a new version in the meantime. An upgrade would then be requesting a package that is no longer on the server. I would always do an update just before doing the actual upgrade. In the stable branch there aren't many updates anyway, so it won't take long. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [Dutch/Nederlands] Public GnuPG key: keyserver.net ID 0x1735C5C2 "Let your advance worrying become advance thinking and planning." - Winston Churchill
