Make a backup of your /etc/apt/sources.list file.
  - Then change all the entries of 'hardy' to 'intrepid'
  - run: apt-get update && apt-get install squid3
  - expect to see some squid packages and libdb upgraded, not much more.
  - replace the original source.list file
  - then run: apt-get update
  - fully stop and re-start squid

This last is very important if you don't want to upgrade your whole
server to the Ubuntu 8.10.
