Re: [trinity-devel] Package renames and autoremove

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
