What is --force-blah? HM> I upgraded my system before Scott's HOWTO was written; at that stage HM> it was fairly simple and all the dependencies seemed to prevent HM> me from doing anything wrong.

For a while I only upgrade HM> the libraries (just to support running new libc6 stuff from hamm), HM> not bothering with existing packages. Never any sign of trouble. I've done the upgrade (with the help of the mini-howto). What do you mean by hamm non-g and hamm libraries?
