Hi,
I'm currently trying to upgrade PHP4 on a production server that
hasn't been exactly maintained very well. However, if I do "apt-get -
u upgrade php4" , I get an humbungous list of stuff to update.
Doing an "apt-get -u dist-upgrade" is EVEN worse, with apt-get
claiming I need to "REMOVE" apache, and install "NEW" apache2,
something I can't really do on a production server on a whim.
Especially seeing as all I want to do is to upgrade PHP 4.2.1 to
4.4.0.
edit /etc/apt/sources.list, and replace "stable" with "woody". Then
run
apt-get update again and apt-get upgrade again.
Once you are ready for upgrading to sarge (the new stable), replace
"woody" with "sarge", read the sarge release notes, and upgrade
Ah.
Previously /etc/apt/source.list was...
---
deb http://mirror.positive-internet.com/debian unstable main contrib
non-free
deb file:/root debs/
---
As you suggested, I switched with
---
deb http://mirror.positive-internet.com/debian woody main contrib non-
free
deb file:/root debs/
---
and the apt-get list is now _far_ shorter.
----
# apt-get -u upgrade
