Hello,=0A=0AOn March 3, 2020 6:41 AM, "Tony Hunter" <th1031@gmail.com> wr=
ote:=0A=0A> I've an older laptop that had alpine v3.3 installed and which=
 I tried=0A> to upgrade to latest-stable. This didn't work, giving many=
=0A> 'unsatisfiable contraints' error messages. So then I tried upgrading=
 to=0A> v3.4, then 3.5 and so on until I got to v3.9. That worked fine bu=

ositories changing edge to=0A> latest-stable and eventually I'll find the=
 system at a stable version?=0A=0AYes, that is correct.  You can just edi=
