Since listbugs queries the database they are in there somewhere. Also I didn't think critical bugs would stop you installing a package, is that perhaps an option you've chosen somewhere? In configuring listbugs perhaps? I believe the advice is always to run "apt-get -s dist-upgrade" when living in testing or unstable ("-s" is a dry run), it certainly shouldn't hurt to do a dist-upgrade assuming you have a vanilla testing or unstable installation. Having recently done the libc upgrade a couple of times it all "just worked", and I remember when libc upgrades were fraught and fearful affairs. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
