The main steps are: 1) upgrade your Squeeze system (I'm not sure if Squeeze sources are still available, so you may have to skip this). This includes: 1a) apt-get update 1b) apt-get upgrade 1c) apt-get dist-upgrade (just in case any packages were held back in step 1b) 2) edit sources.list to remove squeeze sources and add wheezy sources. 3) apt-get update 4) apt-get upgrade 5) apt-get dist-upgrade Not until you do step 5 do you have a Wheezy system. I suspect you missed this step. Otherwise maybe you have something preventing the upgrade in apt.conf or your apt preferences files. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
