Looks like the mirror is now fully working, since
it takes less
than 30 minutes to do a fully upgrade. So I have tested sevaral
ways to upgrade from a standard 3.5.13.2 install to 14.0.0. The
sequence suggested by Mike seems to be the most
reliable/reproducable, but with some tweeks. 1) apt-get update 2)
apt-get install tde-trinity. This fails at some point. 3) apt-get
-f install. This succeeded, but trying to login after this stage
gives the error "Could not start kstartupconfig...." 4) apt-get
dist-upgrade After this stage, I have a fully working TDE R14.0.0
system. Running aptitude in CLI mode and pressing 'g', comes up
with a list of packages that can be deleted. This at times is
most of the TDE installation. To fix this do the following. 5)
run 'aptitude', search tde-trinity (which should be shown as
*un*installed, mark as 'to install' and 'g'. This will make
R14.0.0 stick in your system 6) running 'aptitude' and pressing
'g' again, comes up with a list of packages that can be deleted.
Proceed.
I have noticed over several upgrade runs, that the list of
packages that can be deleted is not always the same, not sure why
although some of the upgrade run were interrupted/resumed several
times due to the slow download bandwidth of previous days. It
seems that dummy packages have to be manually removed. dpkg -l |
grep -i dummy gives a list of such packages.
I will modify the installation instructions adding an "Update
from 3.5.13.2" section to it. If you have any specific comments
that you would like to add to the above, please let me know (once
again :-) )
Cheers Michele
I must again point out - if the user perform a manual selection of install, the process containing "apt-get
install tde-trinity" is
not
an just
upgrade, but will install many other packages.
Moreover, as you
mention, this
step fails. That does not sound like a good way
to upgrade.
Please, test this simple procedure:
1) apt-get update 2) aptitude dist-upgrade
As I've mentioned many times before, this procedure on all my test
machines
ran smoothly - without any hitch - and it's
"really just upgrade".
Slavek,
I tested your way and the upgrade goes smooth. Nevertheless after the
process is completed a lot of dummy packages are still installed. Using
the following procedure gets rid of those dummy packages and leaves a
clean upgrade.
1) apt-get update 2) aptitude dist-upgrade
96 packages upgraded, 64 newly installed, 15 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 147 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.7 MB will be used.
No problems.
3) aptitude install tde-trinity -> then choose to
resolve the conflict
by removing kde-trinity and kde-core-trinity
0 packages upgraded, 406 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 231 MB of archives. After unpacking 626 MB will be used.
Oops, that's a bit much.
I think we could recommend something like this:
If you had installed metapackage kde-trinity, kde-core-trinity or
kde-devel-trinity, these are not updated automatically. For the update is
necessary to use one of the following:
aptitude install tde-trinity
aptitude install tde-core-trinity
aptitude install tde-devel-trinity
As I watched, there are several transitional dummy packages which would still
have had to be removed manually. For example kde-i18n-*, kio-locate,
kradio,... For such I would suggest the following:
4) Run aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display '~i-trinity~ddummy"
and manually check and delete unneeded packages.
Can you test on your machines as well and let me know? If confirmed, I
will update the installation instructions.
Cheers
Michele
