Even safer: apt-get -f -u dist-upgrade -f fix-broken -u show-upgraded This lists everything that's going to be upgraded. It's possible you may want, after changing your /etc/apt/sources.list, to do apt-get install apt first; once or twice I've known things to get stuck because apt wasn't upgraded and didn't handle the packages correctly; that may not be a problem but it probably won't hurt; probably when you do this other packages will get upgraded along with apt. Also, if you do the upgrade and there are still a significant number of packages not upgraded, don't panic; just run the upgrade again. It may be that some packages weren't to be upgraded until the basic upgrade was done; I don't know for sure, but this has happened to me. Hope this helps and isn't confusing. -- Cheryl "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
