Hi. I just want to report a successful upgrade from slink to potato-test-cycle-2 (i386) following the instructions in bin1::upgrade/release-notes.en.txt and using bin CDs 1, 2 and 3.
Only one nontrivial problem occurred. Excerpt from upgrade-2.2.typescript, full typescript available at http://pi7.fernuni-hagen.de/hartrumpf/upgrade-2.2.typescript : ---- Removing egcc ... /var/lib/dpkg/info/egcc.prerm: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing egcc (--remove): subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 /var/lib/dpkg/info/egcc.postinst: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: egcc E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) --- The reason for this error was: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives contained #! /usr/local/bin/perl but on my slink system, there was no /usr/local/bin/perl, just /usr/bin/perl. Ciao Sven
