That's non exhaustive, though, and breakage depends on what users do. For instance, the following rsync bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1093160 (rsync fails in some settings involving symbolic links) is not mentioned, and AFAIK, is just about to be fixed in trixie. So, in particular, I agree that a backup of the system first may be important. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
