Debian Sarge Release - apt-get - Version 3.1 of the Linux Operating System released on Mon, 6 Jun 2005
APT-GET HOWTO from "testing" to "sarge"
If you have been running Debian Sarge from the "testing" repository, you most likely have these lines in "/etc/apt/sources.list":
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security testing/updates main contrib non-free
Now that Sarge (current stable release) has been released and "testing" became "etch" (the next stable release), you have to change sources.list to:
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security sarge/updates main contrib non-free
NOTES:
With the release of Sarge, the non-US repository has been moved into the main repository.
For some reason, the security line for testing is no longer valid for sarge. Use this instead:
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
Get Debian Sarge from debian.org or buy ready made CD-sets from various Linux CD selling sites.
If you do "apt-get upgrade" (don't forget "apt-get update" before) and some packages are being kept back like this
# apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
gnome-themes gnomemeeting gstreamer0.8-misc gstreamer0.8-vorbis libpt-plugins-oss libpt-plugins-v4l
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
you need to make an "apt-get dist-upgrade". The normal "upgrade" will not remove any packages. I.e. if you
have package "foo" installed, but now package "bar" is the new one, "upgrade" will not remove "foo" and
install "bar". Doing a "dist-upgrade" will remove old and obsolete packages and install the replacement packages.
