 |
|
Please feel free to relocate this thread if it doesn't belong here.
Having already installed 69K to a fresh partition from the CD, I thought I'd try updating an existing 60001 system from the command line. I modified /etc/apt/sources.list.d/blag.list to point to BLAG 70000 repositories instead of 60000 and then ran:
| Code: | apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade |
The get failed after over 700 packages with a "missing dependencies" error. I was able to get through this fairly easily as follows:
| Code: | | apt-get --fix-missing dist-upgrade |
The gets completed successfully and the installation proceeded until I encountered another error complaining of a broken package. This was overcome via:
| Code: | | apt-get --fix-broken dist-upgrade |
Lastly, the installation hung during the installation of the new kernel. I control-C'ed out of it, started up again (this time without the --fix-broken argument) and it seemed to complete, but didn't produce an initrd file, without which the new kernel wouldn't boot. I cheated by grabbing it from an existing 69K installation, after which it was all joy.
All in all it took about two hours via a broadband internet connection. Upgrading via the CD would have taken less than half the time and might have circumvented some of the errors I encountered, but I wanted to prove to myself that I could perform a major upgrade even when "CD-impaired".

I found that `yum -y update` fixed everything for me when I installed 69k via a USB key.

good to know. I prefer apt, but would happily use yum for major update purposes if it saved me a few hiccups. Thanks!

That's the only thing that I find yum very good for. Also great for grabbing soucrce code. Check out this demonstration.
