-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Gina, I usually do a dist-upgrade just about every day. If I neglect it for several days I might do a simple upgrade first, but since I try to keep on top of the rapidly changing material on unstable, dist-upgrade makes the most sense. A simple upgrade will never add anything not already present, or remove anything in order to upgrade a package, and so sometimes things get put on hold. Doing a dist-upgrade routinely will do the necessary adds and removes required to upgrade a package, and the holds soon get resolved. No second thoughts here at all about unstable. My next New Year Resolution will be to pay more attention to the contents of the apt-changes reports that accompany an upgrade.
