I have a Debian Potato. I would like to use Balsa 1.2.3, which is

woody is easy, but I must be missing something.
apt-get dist-upgrade <cr>
is not enough. What am I missing?

PS Am I crazy to comtemplate this upgrade?
You have to update your /etc/apt/sources.list to include the woody sources.
Then
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Potato to Woody is okay, but it might be interesting. just do some
bkgrnd work and leap feet first.

first method is far more difficult.
