Ah the joys of Debian. I've only had trouble back in the libc5->glibc6
and aout to elf upgrades, and then only on two of several machines.  I
have a couple of systems that have been upgrading in place for years,
including hardware, etc.  Not reinstalled Debian in ... well, a _very_
long time.  Lots of cruft on these systems, let me tell you.
