Indeed. I recommend the following upgrade procedure:
* edit /etc/apt/sources.list changing stable to potato or unstable,
and changing non-us.debian.org "stable non-US" to "potato/non-US
main contrib non-free".
* apt-get update
* apt-get install apt
* apt-get install bash
* dselect
This is what I have been using to upgrade new machines. Does it make
sense? Any of it unnecessary?
But yes, this should probably be fixed.
