Hi all -
I have a Sid install on one of my laptops that was set up over a year ago. I usually run Ubuntu and Mandrake on this one but decided to update the Debian install.
Apt-get update went as expected:
r2d2:~# apt-get update

Even though it's not been upgraded for a long time (for example, this version of Firefox is 1.0!!), I can't get it to upgrade anything:
r2d2:~# apt-get clean
r2d2:~# apt-get upgrade

The repository I'm using is good; I have three other Debian boxes which upgrade from it regularly, and it's up-to-date. I know the guy who runs it, and he's very good about keeping everything in good shape.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I've Googled this and haven't found a good answer (through the first 30 hits, anyway).
Thanks....Bob
