Yep, the 15.04 build runs fine using 15.10 - AFAIK. I did the
upgrade to 15.10 via the Muon updater's Upgrade, then checked it with
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, and that reported no
issues, but the System Settings > System Info still reports it's 15.04.
What's the command-line check? There ought to be something that reports
the true OS, uname -o just reports GNU/Linux, not very helpful.
Sorry, Upgrade not completed at that stage. Now done, and I can report
that the 15.04 CVS build of xastir 2.0.7 will run fine in the
upgraded-to 15.10 system/. /I//initially left the obsoleted packages in
place//. ~/src/xastir/configure reported no graphicsmagick to build
with, so I cleared the obsoleted packages with sudo apt-get autoremove.
There didn't seem to be anything graphics-related there.
I tried a temporary replacement of the xastir binary in my main
15.10 system, but the raster maps did not show. Looks like there's a
difference of some sort between the 15.04/15.10 upgraded system and the
straight 15.10.
Raspberry Pi follows similar trend. Wheezy-system CVS build of xastir
2.0.7 runs fine in the upgraded-to-Jessie system, but will not build
with raster maps there.
... Anyone point me to a sane method of removing Grub,
restoring the original MBR? I put the root (MBR) grub on before
switching to the USB 2 port, so it's superfluous).
Still looking for an answer to this... Anyone???
73 all, and a fine festive season.
