Description Me 2008-01-11 01:25:59 UTC

If I run an apt-get upgrade, I won't get the latest slimserver.  This is because "7.0a1" is interpreted as a newer version number than "7.0" in the Debian world.  See http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-pkgname

$ sudo apt-cache policy slimserver

This is a known issue and will only happen once when you go from 7.0a to 7.0.  Otherwise, future 7.0 updates should work fine.

marking as wontfix as this is an known, expected issue.  it's a one time hurdle.  If there are problems beyond the stated known working path, feel free to reopen.
