Too late now but before upgrading I think it is advisable to look at
the output of apt-show-versions and clean up packages that are no
longer available. Even though you were fully up to date with Lenny

I realize that this is a dumb question, but I've never upgraded a Linux distro
before - I've only made fresh installations. (My excuse is that a fresh
installation forces me to properly back up my personal files, something that
I'd have to do anyway with an upgrade as a precaution.)

This shouldn't happen. If you can reproduce this it would be important
to file a bug report.

it setup for dual boot with XP on one hard drive and Linux on the other.

Hi,
I recently upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze. I did the upgrade rather
haphazardly without much preplanning and the procedure turned out to
be a bit of a nightmare.
I acknowledge that Squeeze is not fully released (just frozen), so I
understand that there may not be any official upgrade guide ye

complete broken after an upgrade. The cups error_log is filled with
"Bad request line "VCB" from 172.x.x.1!' Printers do not appear in

Greetings and happy weekend folks,
I previously tried upgrading from Lenny to squeeze:
1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to reflect squeeze
2. aptitude update
3. aptitude install apt dpkg aptitude
4. aptitude full-upgrade
The upgrade seemed to go well however, on reboot it failed to go into X.
