Neil Youngman said: OK, I'm obviously missing something here. Sid is testing, squeeze is in testing, I thought sid and squeeze were essentially the same thing?
Essentially I changed the priorities to make testing the default and did an apt-get dist-upgrade, although I had previously upgraded a fair amount using install -t testing ------ Technically there are three branches in Debian. Stable, Testing, and Unstable. As it stands, untill Squeeze is declared stable... Lenny is Stable Squeeze is Testing Sid is Unstable When Squeeze becomes Stable, Lenny is Moved to Old Stable, and Testing takes on the name designated for stable version 7 to be released in 2013.. Sid is the same as unstable and that never changes... I'm not extremely experienced with dist-upgrades but to my knowledge, you want to apt-get clean apt-get update apt-get upgrade *then* change your repositories to testing apt-get clean apt-get update dist-upgrade I think that's the general process; TeddyB
