System, Debian Squeeze, TDE 3.5.13.2. Changed sources list to nightly builds (TDE R14). apt-get upgrade: only installs a few packages, most are held back. aptitude upgrade: removes one package, installs NEW packages, and upgrades packages. these were simulated runs, will do more testing later. what this indicates to me is that depending on how you upgraded your system, you did not say..updating a Ubuntu system has no meaning to me, there could be issues with a complete install, ie held packages. -- Peace, Greg
