I enjoy dselect, but it seems unfit to handle the transition from woody to sarge on its own. apt-get and the aptitude that ships with woody aren't even up to the task. Reading the release notes is highly recommended: http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.html One of the points it mentions is: Upgrade tests have shown that sarge's version of aptitude is better at solving the complex dependencies during an upgrade than either apt-get or woody's aptitude. It should therefore be upgraded first using: # aptitude install aptitude So I suggest following this advice (and reading the rest of the release notes). Make backups if you haven't already. And you may want to wait for a few other answers of course. :) HTH, -- 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
