And for whoever digs this up in google/mail archives: Rich's
suggestion will *not* update "everything", on the contrary it will
miss many packages among other libmyth which is a vital upgrade
package.

Please do yourselves a favour, and either fully update your system or
not at all. Also check for the keyword pair "partial/selecetive
updates" for background information of why this breaks your systems.
