Regressions occur in Ubuntu releases. As mentioned elsewhere, this is
to be expected, and may be for the best. But if you've spent 6 months
getting Intrepid just how you like it, starting over again with Jaunty
can be a pain.
So how about we offer the user the opportunity to `cp -l /bin /etc /usr
/lib* /sbin /usr /var /chroots/jaunty` when they upgrade to Karmic?
Then with a bit of shell trickery, they can run their old version of
amarok just by running "jaunty amarok". It wouldn't take up that much
space on a modern hard drive, especially using hard links, and would
solve a lot of these headaches.
Similarly, how about we offer the user the opportunity to `debootstrap
jaunty /chroots/intrepid --include=ubuntu-desktop` if they install
Karmic from scratch? That gives new users similar access to Jaunty.
Finally, how about upgrading debootstrap in Jaunty when Karmic is
released, so that people can install it in a chroot, and try before they
buy?
