Hi Gina,
I usually do a dist-upgrade just about every day. If I neglect it for
several days I might do a simple upgrade first, but since I try to keep
on top of the rapidly changing material on unstable, dist-upgrade makes
the most sense. A simple upgrade will never add anything not already
present, or remove anything in order to upgrade a package, and so
sometimes things get put on hold. Doing a dist-upgrade routinely will do
the necessary adds and removes required to upgrade a package, and the
holds soon get resolved.
No second thoughts here at all about unstable. My next New Year
Resolution will be to pay more attention to the contents of the
apt-changes reports that accompany an upgrade.
Chuck
