Greetings from the Debian upgrade treadmill ;-) I've learned it works most reliably if you upgrade in two stages: apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade I just verify that it won't removing major packages, and do a backup first if I see that the C libraries are going to change, Although I benefit from the developments in multimedia software I'm not sure I like exposing my system to so many opportunities for failure. A strategy I've used in past is to *not* upgrade until I need something. Maybe could call it it "choose your own freeze". I'm told this is sub-optimal because the package upgrade scripts are not tested against all previous packages.
