then: apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get -f install For some reason. I just kept doing this and eventually got there. Obviously there are some dependency problems that aren't resolved yet regarding the upgrade. However, I did this several months ago, so things may have changed. Definitely have the equivalent to this in /etc/apt/sources.list: # main archive deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free # crypto stuff deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free It is also possible that you will need to grab a few sid packages. Just add: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list, then do: apt-get update apt-get install <package that isn't available in woody> Once you get that, comment the above lines out, and rerun 'apt-get update' then try: apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get -f install as needed. Eventually you will get there. There is probably a better way, but I know this works as I have done it.
