I remembered when I did the first upgrade by running command "apt-get upgrade" 225 packages were upgraded, but 47 packages were kept back. Of these 47, all but four had either "trinity" or "kde" in its name. The other four were "lib" packages. At the time the first 225 packages were upgraded, it occurred to me that I should as a second step upgrade the other 47 packages; but I neglected to do so. Now, taking my cue from Mag. Dr. Klepp did so. Once again I ran the command "apt-get upgrade". Apt-get however identified the 47 packages but refused to upgrade them. I next decided to try the "aptitude upgrade" command instead. The response from that command stated that 46 of the 47 packages that apt-get refused to install aptitude would install. I addition, aptitude would remove nine more packages and install five new ones. It recommended one more package but would not install it. After all of the forgoing was finished, ctrl-alt-F7 revealed the login screen ready for entry of user name and password. I logged on and was able to open Konqueror without difficulty. (There was however a problem with Konqueror which will be the subject of another post to the list.) I am consequently quite curious as to why aptitude would install the missing packages; whereas apt-get would not. I could not find anything in the release notes or the Debian installation instructions to indicate that in upgrading to 3.5.13 aptitude should be used instead of apt-get. I initially used apt-get because the release notes and instructions for the Lenny to Squeeze upgrade specifically recommended using apt-get instead of aptitude.
