I attempted to upgrade my Averatec 3200 laptop from Squeeze to Wheezy on 5/5/13. The laptop has an AMD Athlon 486 processor and Unichrome graphics. The only non-Debian software installed on this machine is Mozilla Firefox. This laptop has successfully run Sarge, Etch, Lenny and Squeeze and was successfully upgraded to Squeeze following the instructions in the Debian.org site. The following problems occurred during the upgrade to Wheezy:
-the upgrade stopped twice because of errors, once for libav-? and once for libreoffice-? -I had to issue the command 'apt-get install -f' two separate times to get the upgrade completed, in addition to issuing the command 'apt-get dist-upgrade' two times in the middle of the upgrade. -Gnome 3 will not run. Default Gnome is very limited in this machine. -xfce runs OK but the default terminal has no prompt. Changing to each of the three rxvt versions will crash X when started. xterm will work. I upgraded the laptop first to see what would happen. My main computer is a desktop machine running Squeeze but also with Unichrome graphics and and AMD Athlon 686 processor. I will not upgrade this desktop machine if it ends up like the laptop, which is barely usable.
