------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-14 01:00 ------- Yes, it's still valid in today's cooker. I let the upgrade complete, and I checked in rpmdrake to see if some of the upgraded packages were upgraded, and it reflected the new versions. What makes me uneasy here is that (a) there is absolutely no indication of what is being done (b) none of the upgrades I've ever done has asked for more than the first CD Could someone familiar with this please comment as to whether this is normal ? The disk activity indicator certainly indicates that SOMETHING was being done, and if that's the way upgrade works, it's fine with me. I just don't want to start reporting bugs on a system whose install I've garbaged up. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it is definitely not what I expected... I thought I would test "upgrade", which I've never used before, by upgrading an older cooker system to a newer one. The target system was a cooker from about a week ago, and the CDs were from yesterday. All seemed to go normally until I got a dialog message about "looking for packages to upgrade", after which I got the skeleton of the package install progress bar, except that there was no package name, no time estimate, and no number of packages. After a few seconds, the display switched to "post-install processing", and then displayed the Summary screen. I would swear that no packages were installed, in spite of the fact that the system being upgraded had every install category checked initially, and I know for a fact that there was a kernel upgrade to cooker in the interim. Quite a bit of time was spent "looking for packages to upgrade and rebuilding the rpm database", but there was no real disk activity to speak of. Is upgrade only supposed to be version to version, or should this upgrade attempt have refreshed all of the cooker packages which had changed between the initial install and when I burned the CDs I used ? BTW, I also tried this on a second system which was only a few days older than the CDs, with the same result.
