Thank you for sending me back to the man page to check the real
meaning of dist-upgrade! I thought it was for hot distribution level
upgrade but it has also an use for normal software packet updating.

I thik I will stick to upgrade and accept to have some packet held
back. My work was not hindered by that, at least until now...

O.K. for work I use almost non-debian distributed software...
