Package: upgrade-reports Archive date: Sat May 21 19:00:01 UTC 2005 Upgrade date: Sun May 22 uname -a: Linux sparc3 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 GNU/Linux Method: aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade
Contents of /etc/apt/sources.list: before upgrade: deb ftp://mirror.ens-lyon.fr/debian stable main deb-src ftp://mirror.ens-lyon.fr/debian stable main deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main I first tried to add the same 3 lines with "stable" replaced by "sarge", leaving the previous ones uncommented, but this caused both aptitude and apt-get to segfault. When I removed the "stable" lines, everything worked again. The machine was installed under woody last week-end (netboot, and network install), so there weren't many packages installed yet. All packages were from woody/main. I didn't see any package failing to upgrade. However, I set the debconf frontend to noninteractive at the beginning of the upgrade process, but got prompted a few times, in particular for the glibc and exim upgrades. The kernel still needs to be updated (I'm hesitating to do that without physical access to the machine). dpkg -l output before and after upgrade is attached. Full typescript is available if necessary. Cheers, Julien Cristau
