Ok thank you, I think it worked. I reloaded and no packages needed any updating. A quick list of the installed packages shows all the same edition between installed and available. I think synaptic is really nice once you get the hang of it. > And I should do it relatively soon, or at the moment Stretch becomes Stable > you will find yourself effectively on Sid!!! That is precisely what I was afraid of and I asked to make sure I got it right. So if in the future I want to adventure to the next release instead of testing I just replace stretch with buster. > Then you can change to bullseye when it suits you.

In most cases documents simplify that stretch is testing, so I thought there was no difference, then something I read recently made me think once stretch becomes stable I would be bumped up a notch. Elsewhere I read that once you are up the ladder the only way to backtrack is to reinstall. > Se parakalw. I hope this is now OK. > > Lisi >> Katrin Thank you all
