Yes, the 1.3 release candidate is held under the 'frozen' directory. But since Debian 1.3 should be released during the coming week, I'd say wait until frozen gets moved to stable. Because of the way dpkg/dselect is currently built, you will probably need to cycle a few times between Install (for the 'unpacking' phase) and Configure (for the 'configure' phase) to get everything installed. Anything that isn't fixed by running install/configure again is very probably a bug and should be reported as such, or at least discussed on the Debian mailing lists. (We can't fix it if we don't know about it.) But Debian 1.3 has seen quite a bit more testing than 1.2, so the upgrade should go fairly smoothly (if not very smoothly). Christian
