Hi, I've just finished one test upgrade from lenny to sid. Here is what I did:
I. upgrade to squeeze remove all the kde3 related applications 1. copy the system to an external usb harddrive (and make it bootable) 2. mount the usb drive and 3. chroot to the mounted dir 4. modify /etc/apt/source.list to be squeeze 5. apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade Note: not all packages have been installed correctly 6. reboot into the usb drive 7. apt-get -f install; apt-get autoremove ; apt-get clean II. upgrade to sid (back in my working environment) 1. mount the usb drive and 2. chroot to the mounted dir 3. modify /etc/apt/source.list to be sid 4. apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade 5. reboot into the usb drive 6. apt-get -f install; apt-get autoremove ; apt-get clean 7. using dselect or aptitude or whatever install the kde4 desktop The problem is that there are still many packages that do not "see" that I'm in chroot and try to restart services while upgrading. Do you know any solution to this? Keeping kde3 and upgrading resulted in broken system (because of dependencies few crucial packages were removed or prepared for installation when apt-get died) I short discussion would be appreciated regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
