Oops, apologies...thanks.
Thought I would start a thread to gather info on
what method(s)
work to upgrade from 3.5.13.2 > R14.
System: Debian Squeeze LTS, AMD64. I changed my sources list to the
nightlies. Ran "apt-get update". There is one package to be
removed, many new packages to be installed and fewer to be
upgraded.
'apt-get upgrade' will not install the new packages, they are
held back. I used 'aptitude upgrade' and the resolver figured out
all the depends, new installs, upgrades and removal.
Almost perfect, better than any previous upgrades. A couple of
things I noticed is my desktop wallpaper was set at the default, I
like 'alien nights' :-)
Ending my current session via the logout dialog drops me to a cli,
I have to 'restart tdm-trinity'.
I did test this on a vm (cloned) I have for legacy support
purposes. Real hardware may be different.
There is already a thread on this! 'apt-get
upgrade' will not install the new packages, they are held
back.
You need 'apt-get dist-upgrade' (unless you prefer aptitude)
I did this from konsole in an x session.
A major upgrade of stuff that's currently running, while in an x
session, surely invites unpredictable trouble.
