Are you using stable or etch in your sources.list? Lenny is the new stable, so if you're using stable in your sources.list, that would explain the big update.

[edge]

I'm using stable in the sources.list. Is this a problem?

[falko]

I'd use etch, because otherwise you'll have a mixture of Etch and Lenny packages. If oyu want to upgrade to Lenny, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-upgrade-a-debian-etch-system-server-and-desktop-to-debian-lenny

Hmm this sucks.. I do not really want to update that server, but I've selected Y when asked84 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 368 not upgraded.

Now.. I have upgraded 84.
So. How do I rollback to the setup before the 84 upgraded, and will it harm the system if I now use "Etch" only in the apt?

So. How do I rollback to the setup before the 84 upgraded, and will it harm the system if I now use "Etch" only in the apt?That's a good question. To be honest, in this case I'd do a full upgrade to Lenny.

[edge]

I'm about to install a new server. Till then I will hold on the update.

Thanks for the info.
