You didn't do anything wrong; the upgrade path is complicated by the new glibc and the GCC 3.x transition for C++ libraries (all of those libs ending in c102). Unfortunately both APT and aptitude are written in C++... I'm a little surprised the release notes recommend upgrading to sarge's aptitude first, because as you noticed it pretty much upgrades everything anyway. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
