Doing the same, replacing 'testing' with 'sarge also worked.
I ran apt-setup next to get the new 'testing' lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list |
ok, so i`ve got debian sarge from 16.4.2005 is there something that i should do to "upgrade" to stable , or just run apt-get upgrade , and that`s all ?

Thanks, I will try the testing branch then!:D I have used ubuntu and kubuntu for a little while and got the hang tp apt-get and changing the sources.list file, dpkg,etc - but I know I have to learn a lot more before I try anything else.:study: Other than that I guess i'll wait Thanks.:) |

I was actually running apt-get upgrade or something similar when the news was posted. Oh my luck. I had to redo it with aptitude dist-upgrade. I was running it from a chroot environment, and when i exited that new pretty kde, my machine froze. Probably the way i was running it.

And ppl - as for running 'apt-get dist-upgrade', AFAIK you should run 'apt-get upgrade' _first_, then do the 'dist-upgrade', for the proper way to upgrade..........Sometimes when I do an 'upgrade', some things get held back, then I run a 'dist-upgrade' to catch those that were held back.......... :) |

APT::Default-Release "stable"; I suppose you can use "sarge" in place of "stable' if you use the word sarge in /etc/apt/sources.list instead of stable.......... :-D |
Despite all the nay-sayers, Debian still rocks. I can only use RPM-based "desktop" distros for a while before I want to rip my hair out. A good Debian install (+ a few days configuring) lasts forever. Congratulations Debian team.

zvonSully I have merged your thread into win32sux's thread because he posted first and you both started identical threads - albeit with different links.

Sarge release also means that the amd64 port should become official soon, at least according to this...

Not booting anymore...
Yesterday I wanted to upgrade my Sarge system: - I first changes testing in sarge in the file /etc/apt/sources.list - Then did apt-get update, then apt-get upgrade and at last apt-get distr-upgrade. I got an error message for lilo during the proces: Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure. Name change: '/dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc' -> '/dev/sda' Fatal: VolumeID read error: sector 0 of /dev/sdb not readable In the distr-upgrade process I was told to reboot as soon as possible. But the only thing I get not is: Lilo 22.6 Loading Linux.................. and then is stops. Anybody an idea? Tnx! |
thegeekster says - "I suppose you can use "sarge" in place of "stable' if you use the word sarge in /etc/apt/sources.list instead of stable.......... :-D"
No you cant I tried it.. Pcghost says - "I can only use RPM-based "desktop" distros for a while" I agree, totally, rpm based systems sucks I pointed my sources.list to "sarge". I have not been using debian that long, what happens next? I have understood that, well I think I have understood that testing is = unstable these days, and they will start improving testing from that point, right? How long should I wait before starting to use "etch" without crashing my systme totally.. I guess it is months before the new testing release is giving us some reliability or am I wrong? Also someone talked about that the non-us source will not be used any more, I guess it will be used in another way then..? - Johan |
