Attempting to install linux-image-2.6.17-* from etch on a sarge system results
in apt wanting to remove gnome altogether. Unfortunately I don't know how to
debug this, because the method I'd normaly use (telling apt to explicitly
install the offending package as well as linux-image-2.6.17-*) tells apt to
grab the other packages from etch, which _does_ work when enough of these
packages are explicitly added. But then I'm in fact upgrading gnome which is
not what I want.
Any suggestion?
