I fully agree.

Might need some juggling with "mount --bind ..." for /dev, /proc and /sys - especially if you want the aptitude fullscreen interface to work. Simplest networking setup might be to install approx and setup the chroot to use that: saves setting up name resolving and is benecifial anyway for many repeated install and upgrade runs. What I would do is use my pbuilder wrapper scripts localcowbuilder-create and localcowbuilder-login (which essentially creates and uses a debootstrap chroot).

More specifically it is here: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.da.html#upgradingpackages I am quite happy to learn that apt-get has matured! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
