The W: message is the last one of the run of apt full-upgrade I have a backup image of the system disk, but for now i see no reason to roll back and to do it again. I just wonder why apt and dpkg are at odds and that since quite a while. Andrew M.A. Cater wrote: > If you went from 10.10 to 11.3 - exactly what procedure did you follow? My cheat sheet was derived from https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en and has: ------------------------------------------------------------------ # 4.2.3.

The system staid usable before and after power off and new start. Only annoyance so far was bracketed paste in bash. (Swatted by "set enable-bracketed-paste off" in /etc/inputrc.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
