And today I did aptitude update and aptitude upgrade in the CLI instead
of in the interactive apttude. Just about everything just worked,
except for 3 packages:
elogind
libpam-elogind
libelogind0
They do nog get upgraded.

Following this with
aptitude dist-upgrade
tells me these will be upgraded, but then balks, telling me to remove
libpam-elogind

How safe is this? isn't elogind kind of important?

I'm still just upgrading from ascii to ascii. beowulf not in my sights
yet.
