Package: upgrade-reports Severity: normal
Just went through a woody->sarge update, and pretty much everything went fine, with one exception. I have a perl script that manages some data on this server via DB_File. As per perl's changelog, since the last woody release: "NOTE: DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2). Any DB_File databases created with earlier perl packages will need to be upgraded before being used with the current module with the db4.0_upgrade program (in the libdb4.0-util package, with HTML docs in db4.0-doc)." This procudure successfully recovered data I thought for some time was lost. Unfortunately this was not mentioned in the upgrade process, and appears to not be mentioned anywhere other than this 2+year old changelog comment, which I found only by googling. I don't know if there's a "known upgrade issues" document somewhere ( http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html doesn't seem to mention in), but this should probabbly be documented as a heads-up for people who will run into the same problem, if not brought up in a notification at perl upgrade time. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers experimental APT policy: (1000, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc3-mm3 Locale: LANG=eo_EO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=eo_EO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
