So if you are keeping it on the October snapshot in the hope that it will be considered an upgrade then please don't do that. You have 2 courses of action. 1. Install a fresh snapshot and continue doing that 2. Re-install the machine using the release media when 5.9 is released Everything else is unknown state. You won't be sure which following current steps to execute. Your current base OS could be well past or before the snapshot used for the release. Regards, Adam
