for broken libraries and lynx, I had absolutely no problems when
upgrading from potato to woody... I'm not sure what went wrong with
yours, but I ran woody up till the time it was released and had no
problems.

Luckilly, I have a few other Linux boxes still running Potato hre.  Have any of you experienced any of these problems?  BC what I'd do is just assemble the responses, and post a bunch of bug reports to the Bug Tracking system.  if any of you want to e-mail me off-list, feel free too at eheil at rcn.com.
