  23 <p>Here is a short update on my <a
  24 href="http://people.skolelinux.org/~pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">my
  25 Debian Lenny->Squeeze upgrade testing</a>.  Here is a summary of the
  26 difference for Gnome when it is upgraded by apt-get and aptitude.  I'm
  27 not reporting the status for KDE, because the upgrade crashes when
  28 aptitude try because of missing conflicts
  29 (<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/584861">#584861</a> and
  30 <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/585716">#585716</a>).</p>
  31
  32 <p>At the end of the upgrade test script, dpkg -l is executed to get a
  33 complete list of the installed packages.  Based on this I see these
  34 differences when I did a test run today.  As usual, I do not really
  35 know what the correct set of packages would be, but thought it best to
  36 publish the difference.</p>

 110 <p>I was told on IRC that the xorg-xserver package was
 111 <a href="http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=9c8080d06c457932d3bfec021c69ac000aa60120">changed
 112 in git</a> today to try to get apt-get to not remove xorg completely.
 113 No idea when it hits Squeeze, but when it does I hope it will reduce
 114 the difference somewhat.
