Hi Omar and all who helped
i got it upgraded, it was way easier than i expected,
i've got a couple of follow up queries concerning post upgrade things todo.
--- -dbus-1.12.10p0v0 -------------------
Remember to update /etc/machine-id
how do i update machine_id, i didn't find any man pages to explain ?
--- -libxml-2.9.8p0 -------------------
Remember to update /var/db/xmlcatalog
how do i update /var/db/xmlcatalog, found man xmlcatalog but mentions
nothing about updating ?
--- -node-8.12.0 -------------------
Error deleting directory /usr/local/lib/kde4/plugins: Directory not empty
/usr/local/lib/kde4/plugins contains:
ls /usr/local/lib/kde4/plugins
accessible imageformats phonon_s_backend
accessiblebridge kauth script
designer kscreen styles
grantlee marble
gui_platform phonon_platform
should i go ahead and delete everything in the directory manually ?
