Upgrade Woody vers Sarge[pour info]
Première fois que j'ai un souci danbs une mise à jour. Une mise à jour d'un serveur de woody vers Sarge (en fait une mise à jour d'un réplique, j'aime savoir où je vais). Un apt-get avec un source.list vers sarge renvoyait systématiquement des erreurs (Conflits en pagaille), même une suppression d'un eptit paquet mettait la pagaille. Je ne m'en suis sorti qu'en récupérant les paquets d'un debootstart sarge et en les installant via dpkg (5 ou 6 fois de suite dpkg -i *.deb). A l'issue de cela, désinstallation et réinstallation de apt, suppression via dpkg de tasksel et enfin 2 ou 3 apt-get upgrade suivi de apt-get -f install ont fini de remettre la machine (ou du moins son clone) sur pied. Je n'ai pas à me plaindre, ce serveur comporte une série de backports (clamav essentiellement, mais aussi dosemu) ce qui fait que c'était plutôt un mixte woody/sarge mais tout de même, comportement étonnant.

Re: Upgrade Woody vers Sarge[pour info]
Bonsoir, J'avais aussi rencontré quelques petits problèmes lors d'un passage de woody+backports vers sarge par simple modification du source.list suivi d'un apt-get dist-upgrade. J'étais très vite tombé sur http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#s-upgrading_other et la commande, magique pour mon cas: aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade qui avait solutionné tous mes problèmes (heureusement pour moi, je n'avais pas eu la sagesse de tester sur une réplique :o). Mais peut-être votre cas est-il différent. Jerome Guery Le Sun, Nov 06, 2005 at 05:23:20PM +0100, François Boisson écrivait: Première fois que j'ai un souci danbs une mise à jour.

Re: easiest way to upgrade woody to sarge?
If you have something in there like a Primary Domain Controller or something like a server that it could break if you change the version of it; the upgrade is done changing the 'woody' word in the /etc/apt/sources.list to 'sarge' and then run apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade. If instead of woody you have stabe, then is apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade the only thing to upgrade your system. have luck ;) On 6/7/05, Sean Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've got a Debian Woody system that's been running decently for over a month now, and would like to update it to Sarge.

Yes. The standard procedure is known to work on remote servers, except you should have a plan B, if there is a problem. Maybe wait a few hours/days to be let others who aren't doing it remotely discover whatever bugs are still there. The dist-upgrade does NOT mess with the kernel, so you should be OK. The standard is (I like aptitude): 1) edit sources.list to point to sarge rather than woody. 2) aptitude update 3) aptitude dist-upgrade 4) wait for a time that depends on the size of your pipe 5) answer config messages HTH -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ Have you run out of disk space in /var ? - or alternatively perhaps in /tmp or swap No, he hasn't. Or at least, that's not the problem. John, if you just added that sources.list line and didn't remove the corresponding one for stable, then do so now. I'm ok there, Colin, as I only had entries for cdrom access plus the security update http entry which I commented out. If that doesn't help, then try putting 'APT::Cache-Limit 16777216;' in /etc/apt/apt.conf (create it if it doesn't exist) and trying again. Haven't tried this. After posting, I tried a number of things (brute force and ignorance) and eventually got 'update' to work by using:- 'deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib' (ie changing 'http' to 'ftp' and deleting 'non-free') However, I had to run 'apt-get dist-upgrade' five times before it stopped complaining, and by that time it had removed almost all kde pkgs and installed over 500mb of packages I didn't ask for. Mind you, I think I learned a lot about what was involved in the way of changed approaches. In my ignorance, I assumed that only those packages I had installed (I deliberately made only a minimal install) would be upgraded. Does this always happen, I wonder? If you need to do the second step, then please report that together with the complete contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list. We'll need to know this for the sarge release notes. The sources.list contained only the entries made during the install from the official 7 CD set, and the http security entry also created by the install program, plus the single line I inserted and then amended. Let me know if you think more information would be useful to you. Thanks for the reply, John. Cheers, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
