Hello, 1) I think that you are right. It seems that a piecemeal installation from the later debian version will get too difficult.
2) I really don't even remember, if that other machine, where that Huawei will finally go, has got more than one partition; it was installed by me, but... And the guy using it, is really quite inexperienced, it would be too much work for him, to do updating of the testing version all the time... I might anyway trying with still one more computer and put there that later distribution,.. 3) I will see, what I will do. 4) Maybe there is way to get the info from the 'jessie' package for later Huawei to be written to to the stable version's package... ... so that the package would start working with E3372 , but not completely needed to be replaced from the later version??? -hv -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 2/27/15, Eric S Fraga <e.fr...@ucl.ac.uk> wrote: Subject: Re: Huawei E3372: still a problem To: "Hannu Virtanen" <hannu_markus_virta...@yahoo.com> Cc: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Date: Friday, February 27, 2015, 2:57 PM On Friday, 27 Feb 2015 at 03:08, Hannu Virtanen wrote: > Trying to install more packages from 'jessie' > to get the missing dependencies in order. From my own experience, trying to upgrade from one Debian distribution to a later one piecemeal doesn't work. I would suggest moving completely to Jessie: update the sources list and do an 'apt-get dist-upgrade'... Or, if you have /home separate, install Jessie over whatever you have installed currently. This often works best and is one of the main reasons for having separate disk partitions for / and /home. -- : Eric S Fraga, GnuPG: 0xFFFCF67D : in Emacs 24.4.1 + Ma Gnus v0.12 + evil-git-bdeb602 : BBDB version 3.1.2 (2014-04-27 15:05:20 -0500) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
