2013-05-19 Thread Hendrik Boom
Well, the thought involved in writing the upgrade report was helpful. It forced me to sit and think while waiting for a reply. Even without a reply, that helped. I did some more hacking. Of course I should have tried apt-get -f install. That indeed fixed most of the problems. But didn't ge

That does look to be the problem., thanks. It is a server I want, and the old server (dating back to etch, I have no idea why the successive upgrades all the way to squeeze didn't replace it) was configured at /etc/dhcpd.conf instead of /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. Probably a problem with a long-obsol

I have no further issues with wheezy, except maybe the disappearance of pornview, which was my preferred slide viewer (it doesn't actually check whether the images are porn, so it works fine for landscapes and such), but that's really a different issue. But the old version from squeeze still wo

I'm in complte agreement with closing this bug. A few months later, I upgraded from squeeze to wheezy successfully, and wheezy has been running on my server ever since. I submitted this bug report while wheezy was still in development, in the hope that it would help debug the upgrade process.
