Maybe this action is different in dist-upgrade. Then why isn't there so many queries posted online? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/14931/ Another reason would be.. you have already DL'd X to your system, APT pulls in Z too. In between, you get disconnected. APT searches the repo to see Z depending on X with updated timestamp. APT proceeds to pull in BOTH X and Z. Download starts from 0%. Would this be the problem? APT docs say, when resumed, it INSTALLS whatever is downloaded (satisfying the dependencies), and THEN proceed to download further 'marked install' packages. So you would see downloads start from 0%.

I have done this in a version of kubuntu: 1. start dist upgrade (the graphical tool) 2. stop it in the middle of download 3. copy the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives to some other place. 4. shutdown 5. Boot later 6. start dist upgrade after whatever cleanup is necessary (lock files may need to be deleted by superuser) 7.

Maybe graphical tools flush the cache before attempting to download new packages. Maybe I'm wrong. Please correct me on this one. Also, graphical tools like Synaptic does not allow to mark, and then exit the tool before going ahead with the operation. In aptitude, you can mark install/uninstall/hold, exit the tool, and come back later to proceed with operation. - God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.

[ILUG-Cochin.org] Cluster file system
Hi, I am currently working on a high availability setup with heartbeat + pacemaker + drbd + ocfs2 For ocsf2 I have lot of doubts since I am new to cluster file systems. Is there anyone who already worked/researched in cluster file systems like ocfs2 or gfs, so that I can talk directly.

To: OSGeo Discussions Cc: osgeo_disc...@wgrass.media.osaka-cu.ac.jp Hi, The Kerala State IT Mission is going for proprietary softwares, against the IT policy of the hon'ble Government of Kerala. Current IT Policy of the state, is accessible here: http://www.kerala.gov.in/annualprofile/it_07.pdf In order to set up a child organization named KSDI ( Kerala State Spatial Data Infrastructure ), the Kerala State IT Mission need closed source proprietary software, clearly violating or ignoring the sections 2.10, 6.7, 7.6, 8.2, and 13.1.3.b, in the IT policy of the government, in which the IT Mission is only a fraction of. The request for proposals released by the Kerala State IT Mission can be accessed in the link: http://www.itmission.kerala.gov.in/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=247&Itemid=63 Again, the attempt by KSITM is against the essence of the "Policy on Open Standards for e-Governance" (still in draft stage), by the Govt. of India, which is accessible here: http://cots.nic.in/cots.tar.gz We the free software community of Kerala are going to bring out the matter in to the attention of the Hon'ble chief minister of Kerala. We request solidarity from the OSGeo community on our efforts on the issue. CC-ed to OSGeo India mailing list also. Freedom matters. -- Forwarded message -- From: Ashik S Date: 2009/12/8 Subject: Re: [fsug-tvm] Violation of IT Policy To: ilug-...@googlegroups.com Hi all The tender expires tomorrow so inorder that the CM might take some action, I sent the letter via registered post as well as email today morning itself. The following were the contents. I thank everyone for pitching in with ideas, a translation and edits to the original letter. "We, the Free Software Community in Thiruvananthapuram, understand that the Kerala State IT Mission is setting up a new organization called KSDI ( Kerala State Spatial Data Infrastructure ). They have put up a Request for Proposals (RFP), on the IT Mission's website, for selection of total solution providers for setting up a Geoportal and Clearinghouse for the Kerala State Spatial Data Infrastructure (KSDI). The tender document available for download in the above link describes an infrastructure that could be completely supported by Free and Open Source Software, but it calls for using proprietary solutions. The state's IT Policy mandates the use of Free Software for government agencies and the tender document is a blatant violation of this policy. Specific points that we wish to point out: 1. A clear violation in the stated IT policy : The tender document specifically calls for the purchase of proprietary software (pages 109-110) like Microsoft Windows XP Professional ERDAS imagine ERDAS Vector, autoSync, VirtualGis, ERDAS Map2PDF, MosaicPro LPS Core, LPS Stereo, LPS Automatic terrain Editor, Terrain Extraction ArcInfo ArcGIS 3D Analyst, Network analyst ArcView Oracle 10i, SQL Server, .net 2. In several sections in the RFP, support for some proprietary technologies like Active Directory Services are being demanded. These are neither requisites nor irreplaceable as per the requirements in the RFP. No free software solution will be able to provide support for these proprietary technologies fully but there are many that might effectively replace them. 3. The RFP does not necessitate that the software developed for the government is to be under free software license. Nor is it asking for handing over the copyright to the government so that the government can release it and maintain it under free software licenses. This is serious since this makes the government dependant on the service provider forever and effectively bars any future move by the government to change the service provider and switch over to a better or self supporting scheme. 4. The RFP demands that proprietary geo data formats have to be supported. This leaves a loop hole for usage of proprietary software to be used. This also prevents usage of free software to access and manipulate data in such format, limiting the current as well as future scope for free software usage. We do not know how this document with such blatant violation of the state's IT policy has come through from a government which is actively promoting Free Software. But we are sure that if the government goes ahead with the purchase of such expensive proprietary software it is only the third party proprietary software providers who are going to benefit for as long as the project stays alive. We believe that it is our responsibility to bring this to your attention and to bring to your notice that the requirements could be satisfied using Free Software without risking vendor lock in and without wasting public funds. We, the Free Sof

In 8.10 --> 9.04, a new folder is created for the downloaded packages. In the OP's case, that is probably recreated. > Also, graphical tools like Synaptic does not allow to mark, and then exit the > tool before > going ahead with the operation.

They use a special upgrade script, which takes over from those. Best A. Mani -- A.
