I had been running my system with these settings without incident and even managed to dist-upgrade from Maverick to Natty. I decided to set up a VM to test upgrading a clean install of Maverick with and without these options to measure how much faster it is, and I found some odd results. Originally the upgrade took 1 hour on the nose. After enabling these options, the process took longer at about 1:20, and there were a few errors in the process. After it finished, I tried running apt-get dist-upgrade, and it complains that e2fsprogs has unmet deps because it pre-depends on the old version of e2fslibs, but the new version of e2fslibs is installed. Is this a bug in apt? It shouldn't have installed the new version of e2fslibs while the old version of e2fsprogs was still installed and pre-depending on it should it? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3J4foACgkQJ4UciIs+XuLn5ACfZlMfh+hXRsO1TGJg6r510d4f Za8AnjcELrGUoPKkfOnEA5Ek/uu2TK89 =ZNeN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
