Hi Ricardo -- You said: > I've actually tried running dselect with ftp, but it didn't work. > It looks like my version of perl may have some problems as can be seen in > the error messages below. If you are really having a chicken-and-egg problem (need dselect + dpkg-ftp to upgrade, but can't use dselect + dpkg-ftp without having upgraded), then I believe the project needs to make a note of that on the FTP sites. Meanwhile, my only suggestion for you is that you use the instructions in upgrade_manual.doc (this text file is found in the directory "upgrades" at any debian mirror). Good luck, Susan Kleinmann
