Duncan,
This isn't the best way to do the upgrade but it seemed to work.

## Removed old opsview-core package 
dpkg -r --force-all  opsview-core
## Get updated packages
apt-get update
## Fix broken dependencies which seemed to upgrade Opsview-core
apt-get -f install
## Install the rest of the Opsview packages
apt-get install opsview

I only tried this in testing just to see if it would work but I'll wait to see 
if you guys come up with a better solution before I do it for real.

I love the new graphing framework and how you can mouse over datapoints and 
drill into specific time ranges.
Hopefully you guys will be able to get the graphs to display in localtime and 
not UTC but that is a minor thing.

Another thing I just noticed, how to you get to the new Events screen, the 
screen is there I just don't see any menu items to get to it?

This is because some of the images we use have moved from one package to 
another (base to core).  Deb packages do not like one file being owned by two 
packages (whereas rpm and pkg files allow it).

The problem in this case is that the new opsview-core deb is being installed 
before the old opsview-base deb is removed, showing up this conflict.

This is now fixed for 3.5.1 and I'll try to sort out a workaround in the 
meantime.

Potentially this could affect anyone upgrading from 2.14, 3.0, 3.1 or
3.2 to 3.5
