Any thoughts as to why these machines seem so out-of-sync? As I said, they're both looking to the same mirrors!But they are not the same locally. It makes no odds really, you can let dist-upgrade proceed and you'll end up with the same system. If you want the reassurance of a similar package list on each, each must be updated and upgraded before the dist-upgrade command.
OK, I thought that "apt-get dist-upgrade" was a 'safer' option than simply "apt-get upgrade". If simply doing a "apt-get dist-upgrade" will bring them both inline, then I will just stick with that. The reason I don't use cron for this purpose is that on occasion "apt-get dist-upgrade" has said that it'll remove packages that I really don't want it to remove, so I am happier just running it myself ever now and then. Would a simple "apt-get upgrade" (instead of "apt-get dist-upgrade") solve this?
