Running wheezy My updates were held up for a few days because of a problem involving backuppc not uninstalling properly... now solved.
So now I've ran the update gui. During this update 187 pkgs were involved. One of them was gcc-4.6. So I now have 4.5 and 4.6 installed. I noticed that a new grub.cfg was installed, even though boot was not mounted. Another thing that happened is that /etc/resolv.conf was overwritten which took me offline with no ability to resolve. So, three things: 1) Do I need to do anything special about the upgrade in compiler? 2) Should it be considered a bug that grub files are written when boot is not mounted. Seems like if the routine notices (which it does) that those files are absent, should there not be further code to check for boot being mounted? It seems it should not be possible for `/boot/grub' to be created on an empty boot. Not during an update. 3) About etc resolv.conf being rendered useless during update: That two seems like it should be bug I pulled out an old backup with the right stuff in it and overwrote /etc/resolv.conf. I then proceeded to make the file imutable with chattr -i. Am I likely to run into problems with /etc/resolv.conf set immutable? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
