Bug#509012: Upgrading from Sarge (stable) to Etch fails
Hi! Holger Levsen schrieb: Note that the Debian project is currently preparing the Lenny release, so I doubt upgrade issues from Sarge to Etch will get much attention anymore. Actually all those bugs (against upgrade-reports) have been closed already, thus closing this one too. Sarge is archived, it's not even oldstable anymore ;-) Beside that: The issue reported in that bug report is covered by the procedure outlined in the release notes.

Bug#509012: Upgrading from Sarge (stable) to Etch fails
reassign 509012 upgrade-reports severity 509012 normal thanks On Wednesday 17 December 2008, Pavel Fedin wrote: When i upgraded my Sarge installation using apt-get dist-upgrade i went into unresolvable circular dependency problem (some packages failed to configure and upgrade was aborted). I had to spent several hours in order to fix the problem manually. First, i had to uninstall GNOME desktop. After this i had to force-install packages that failed. Then i reinstalled missing GNOME stuff. As this is an upgrade issue and not an installation issue, I'm reassigning your report to the correct place. Note that the Debian project is currently preparing the Lenny release, so I doubt upgrade issues from Sarge to Etch will get much attention anymore. I assume you _did_ follow the upgrade instructions documented in the Etch release notes? If not, then it is quite possible your problems could have been avoided by following those instructions.

Package: installation-reports Severity: grave When i upgraded my Sarge installation using apt-get dist-upgrade i went into unresolvable circular dependency problem (some packages failed to configure and upgrade was aborted). I had to spent several hours in order to fix the problem manually. First, i had to uninstall GNOME desktop. After this i had to force-install packages that failed. Then i reinstalled missing GNOME stuff. Unfortunately i have no logs of this. -- Best regards, Pavel mailto:sonic.am...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
