Dear Elimar,

You're not the first person to recommend an
upgrade, and I'm sure you won't be the last.

Here's the big but.

BUT, "apt-get check" reports no broken
dependencies, and an "apt-get upgrade" might

a.) obscure a bug that should be fixed and

b.) install packages with new bugs.

Also, it seems to me that upgrading everything
would be a throw back to the old days before
Debian wisely implemented finer grained
dependencies between individual packages.

I'd prefer to find the real bug and fix it.

Thanks,
Kingsley
