<div class="gmail_quote">As Koha continues to grow in popularity
it seems reasonable to assume there may be a corresponding
increase in the number of Koha system administrators,
specifically separate from developers. At some point if there is
interest in starting a mailing list or a wiki section for system
administrators maybe we should discuss it.<br>
<br>
The following email discussing updates in Debian that I received
on a different mailing list is one example of information that
might be of interest to such a group.<br>

Trying to upgrade an older debian squeeze install, aptitude
tries very<br>
hard 'resolving dependencies', eats 3+ gigs of ram, the
machine fills<br>
swap and thrashes until I kill it. Anyone else run into this
issue?<br>
<br>
I'm rather curious if it would've died earlier with a 32-bit
kernel.<br>

<div>Have you tried the upgrade with apt-get? It's (again) the
recommended package manager for Debian (as opposed to aptitude
in Lenny)[1]:</div>
