I note that the manpage says that dist-upgrade is more likely to do unwanted things than upgrade. Beyond that, I'm not sure. That being said, what about 2.1.10 is going to break on you? It is actually the right version for all apps but gnustep, as far as I know - gnustep will need a rebuild shortly, and freetype upstream will need to learn about proper soname handling some day, but I thought the situation was mostly under control? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | heavy, adj.: Seduced by the chocolate | | steve@lobefin.net | side of the force. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
