You can (always) use dist-upgrade, if you're careful enough what the changes are. But I never do unattended (dist-)upgrades and always have a good look at what the changes are, _especially_ what gets removed. Of course, I learned most of my lessons the hard way, but I also solved most of them on my own, thank you. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
