Otherwise the folks at Debian would have to script in for the additionalfull-upgrade case for every package. it wasn't designed for something like a lenny to lenny transition. All I really know is what the man page says, that using full-upgrade repeatedly can have strange, unwanted results. My debsecan package is giving me grief over the same reason, because there's a newer module in perl than the one it needs to backport to. <shrugs> Michael
