Hi again, I just wanted to follow up with more info.
I think these packages that want to stay with squeeze are pinned, for example: root@gilgamesh:~/tmp# apt-cache policy perl-base perl-base: Installed: 5.10.1-17squeeze6 Candidate: 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 Version table: 5.14.2-21+deb7u2 0 500 http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages *** 5.10.1-17squeeze6 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status But I have no /etc/apt/preferences file on this machine & /etc/apt/preferences.d is empty Is it the case that during a dist-upgrade, the system might internally be pinning some packages for certain stages of the upgrade? Or should I try to unpin it somehow? Thanks again, Kenneth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
