I replaced my original install of emulators/linux_base with emulators/linux_base-debian, then really put it through some paces with apt-get, dselect and friends, running in a chrooted /compat/linux/ (/bin/bash) environment, actually succeeding in upgrading to the latest unstable base, and adding a fair number of .debs along the way, all of which are working splendidly. I just had to write to say how very impressed I am. Great work, people! -- Conrad Sabatier - "In Unix veritas"
