Upgrading unstable notes
From the “using unstable on my desktop” department:
Just two things to point out: liferea-mozilla has been superseded by
liferea-xulrunner; so if liferea is held back at your upgrade, do an
apt-get install liferea-xulrunner
.
The old file manager of XFCE has been replaced with “thunar”. Just do an
apt-get install xfce4
to get the latest xfce4 suite. You might want
to install the recommends, too.
And remember, don’t just blindly run dist-upgrade
. This is meant for
upgrading e.g. from woody to sarge. For daily use, upgrade
is much
better, since it’s less aggressive at uninstalling applications you might
miss afterwards. Aptitude may also offer you alternatives in conflict
situations.
