You'll want sources from the backports too probably: deb-src http://kartolo.sby.datautama.net.id/debian jessie-backports main > #jessie R packages > #deb http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/misc/cran/bin/linux/debian jessie-cran3/ > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > 2. followed by > > # apt-get update > # apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade > # apt-get dist-upgrade Since you're going to the trouble of pre-downloading packages for dist-upgrade, you might as well pre-download all of them: apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade > should get me there to Jessie 8? More or less. It's also recommended to empty /etc/apt/preferences before the upgrade, and, of course, you don't upgrade if: - From the running X session, unless you're know what you're doing. - Over SSH or VNC, unless you're know what you're doing. - You don't have a backup of a current system hidden in the safe place:) Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
