    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.
