The problem is not that it can't upgrade itself. It can, and, from the version in lenny to the version in squeeze, there's an upgrade of the disk storage. In some cases (see bug report given earlier) evolution did crash at upgrade and that lead to data loss. It doesn't happen every time, but I'd rather be on the safe side. > rethink this decision. from the around 60 desktops I manage around > here I won't check on upgrade if someone is logged in when upgrading. > have other things to waste my time. Sure, like restoring their backups? I know it /will/ piss people, but the other alternative doesn't look good either. Btw, blindly upgrading 60 desktops with users logged in and without preparation doesn't look safe either.
