    I have Debian installed on my xbox. It's Xebian 1.01, or something like
    that. As nearly as I can tell, it's exactly the same as woody except
    that the kernel is a 2.4 kernel with xbox patches, and a backported
    version of XFree86 4.3.0, and some customized configuration files.

    xbox:/# cat /etc/debian_version
    3.0

    xbox:/# gcc -v
    Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
    gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)

    Anyway, my point being that I'm pretty sure it's almost pure woody and
    looks a lot more like a customized Debian than a derived distribution.

    So, my sources list looks like this:

    deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge/non-US main contrib
    non-free
    deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sarge//non-US main
    contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free
    deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sarge main
    deb-src http://perso.wanadoo.fr/debian/ unstable main

    Then I type:

    xbox:/# apt-get update
    [snip]
    Hit http://ftp.us.debian.org sarge/main Release
    [snip]
    xbox:/# echo $?
    0
    (In other words, everything appears successful.)

    xbox:/# apt-get dist-upgrade
    Reading Package Lists... Done
    Building Dependency Tree... Done
    Calculating Upgrade... Done
    The following packages have been kept back
      lame liblame0 libpostproc0 mplayer-586
    2 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
    Need to get 1145kB of archives. After unpacking 4096B will be freed.
    Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

    I expected that a lot more packages would need upgrading (like, say,
    gcc).

    How can I upgrade? I don't want to mess with the kernel package, so I
    guess I should pin it or something. There might be some configuration
    file holding everything in place.
