    I would like to upgrade my Debian to Sid from Sarge. I have done this
    before, but, to make a long tale brief, must do it again.

    When I use apt-get -V dist-upgrade, it informs me that it will be
    removing, amongst other things, gaim and the gnome-core. It would seem
    to me that I want these things. I tried apt-get -V upgrade and, in
    lieu of removing them, it holds them back.

    The Question, then, is this: How do I make it upgrade every thing and
    not keep any thing back or delete it?

    Thank you Kindly in advance.

      ... Then the "in-place upgrade" and "Repair install" upgrades came along used to indicate the reinstalling of the *same* OS without removing the original installation as a method to fix problems and issues etc. etc. essentially the same as an "upgrade" with the exception that the old OS is the same version as the new OS. ... Then "in-place upgrade" came to indicate the same thing as "upgrade" for some reason -- probably to differentiate an "upgrade" from other types of installation such as a "custom install" (which seems to be a variant of a "clean install" where the clean install process is started by running a wizard in the old OS -- the user may perceive it to be an upgrade -- and ...
