So, a small question - How suicidal is crossgrading back to Debian by
altering my APT sources?
I was interested if this had any chance of working, so I tried in a VM
to go from Ubuntu 10.10 to Squeeze. I failed miserably (possibly due to
user error, possibly not). These are the steps I took:
1) updated sources.list with Debian repository
2) "apt-get update" failed due to missing key
a) "sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring" (didn't correct issue)
b) "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key AED4B06F473041FA && gpg
--armor --export AED4B06F473041FA | sudo apt-key add"
3) "sudo apt-get update"
4) "sudo apt-get upgrade"
hplip caused problem that required "sudo apt-get -f install"
5) "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
error due to missing "scanner" group, "sudo addgroup scanner" continued
process
erlang-base & erlang-base-hipe "broken package"
"sudo apt-get install erlang-base-hipe" got around this
Had some more package issues, so tried aptitude instead "sudo apt-get
install aptitude"
6) "sudo aptitude upgrade"
acpi-support error
a) "sudo apt-get -f install" continued
b) udev error
procps: Depends: upstart-job
I don't see a way around this one, so I tried a reboot - system did not
come back up :(
So in conclusion - I failed miserably, hope you have better luck.
