To stay with debian Woody - apt-get update/upgrade as usual?
 

Hi all,

I would like to stay with debian woody for the moment
(move to sarge in a month or so).

I have not changed the source list ... and did an:

apt-get update
and then
apt-get upgrade
(as usuall)

got the following:

Need to get 12.2MB of archives. After unpacking 11.0MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

==========================================

should I continue? Or will it upgrade to Sarge if I do so (which I do not want)?

Again I just want to be up-to-date with just the Woody security updates .... it should be fine shoudn't it? I am asking because this is
an unusaull message for just a Woody security update ...

Thanks,

Alexan

I think this will install Sarge.

What you want to do is edit the '/etc/apt/sources.list' file and make sure it points to "woody" or "oldstable". So, change all the "stable" words into "woody", this will make sure that you get the Woody security updates.

Woody will be supported for an extra 12 months

ok thank you very much ...

I thought that upgrading to Sarge would require an apt-get dist-update or something

so I am going to replace "stable" with "woody" in the sources and see what happens

Have a good day
Alexis

I used "oldstable"

it worked perfectly

Thanks again
