Is it one of those "update your current OS to the lastest bits" before upgrading to the next release issues? I gave-up upgrades, years ago. It takes ages to calculate the updates, there's always a lot of post-update fix-ups, and it can take weeks to resolve them all (if there are new-release bug-caused problems in that, rather than just your own set-up). I find it far easier to do fresh installs, then import old configurations and data from a second drive. Or simply always have the data on a second drive. I know some recommend that you should do over-the-top updates, but any new release ought to be able stand on its own, and not rely on you having pre-installed something. I'm fortunate to not have things like databases which are harder to migrate with simple file copies. The nearest I get to that is the mail server. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
