Breezy --> Dapper via APT question

[Derek Broughton]

Please don't top-post.  I know you think it's easier, but I want to respond
to you _and_ the OP, and you make it difficult.

I'd agree for one thing, there's a major ABI change in there resulting in
lots of current packages (generally libraries) having a 'c2a' suffix.  If
most of the packages you see being removed begin with "lib" and their names
only differ from the ones being installed by changing 'c2' to 'c2a', then
that's fine.

Yes, and no. :-)  You've repeated "dapper" - one of those should be
"dapper-updates" (though I don't expect you to find anything in
dapper-security or dapper-updates, yet).
