My server upgrade from squeeze to wheezy just failed. But I'm not
panicking, I can still dual-boot into a back-up squeeze partition, and
squeeze still works perfectly.
I just upgraded my server from squeeze to wheezy. Lots of packages
failed to upgrade because of dependency problems. Now it's normal to
have a few like this in a testing system, as packages leak through from
sid, so I wasn't too worried about this -- normally just wait a few days
and the missing dependencies show up.
But enough are missing that wheezy is not really usable.
It fails to recognise any network interfaces. It used to recognise an
eth0, an eth1, and a ppp0, but now ifconfig reports nothing. Of course,
this might not even be the fault of the missing packages. Maybe udev is
wrong. Yes, I started the upgrade with the kernel and udev. They should
match.
I'm not sure where to start looking.
apt-get dist-upgrade just reports a lot of unresolved dependencies. I'm
not clear what to do next. apt-get suggests using apt-get -f install.
But which packages do I do this to? Or do I misunderstand?
And with the net down, even if I figure out what to uninstall (aptitude
has over 200 candidates for this) there's probably little hope of having
apt-get download further packages normally. But if I can figure out what
to remove, I may well be able to install some that have already been
downloaded during the dist-upgrade.
Yes, I did use script to log everything. But the complete output is
rather lengthy.
I append the messages apt-get dist-upgrade now gives me. Are any of
these likely the cause of my problems? They don't look like trouble to
me, but what do I know?
