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
