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.
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.

I'm rather curious if it would've died earlier with a 32-bit

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

Although the aptitude command
comes with rich features such as its enhanced
package resolver, this complexity has caused (or may
still causes) some regressions such as Bug #411123, Bug
#514930, and Bug
#570377. In case of doubt, please use the apt-get and apt-cache commands over the aptitudecommand.
