Debian 6 to 7 Upgrade error, apt broken
Decided to upgrade some computers running Debian 6 a.k.a. squeeze to Debian 7 a.k.a. Wheezy today. Been having trouble with the kernel not getting upgraded.
I updated and upgraded the packages in my existing Squeeze installation before changing sources.lst file to wheezy. Then i ran
Code:
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade
#apt-get dist-upgrade
It went well mostly, except that i got an error related to the installation of linux-image-amd64. About some dependencies not being met.
So i went about google-ing the errors and ran the following commands:
Code:
root@Debian:~# dpkg --audit
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
linux-image-amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)
The following packages are missing the md5sums control file in the
database, they need to be reinstalled:
gcj-4.7-jre Java runtime environment using GIJ/classpath
bogofilter fast Bayesian spam filter (dummy package)
gcj-jre-headless Java runtime environment using GIJ/classpath (headless ve
default-jre Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime
Then i tried installing the kernel manually:
Code:
root@Debian:~# apt-get install linux-image-amd64

It says no more room left, so i checked the partitions, they seem fine to me. The error doesn't mention how much more space would be needed either.

The systems seems to have upgraded itself otherwise:

Release: 7.7
Codename: wheezy
# cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux 7 \n \l
So i run aptitude to fix broken packages and I have a system running Wheezy with a Squeeze kernel (?).
From the looks of it i might need to repartition to make room (Squeeze squeezed in just fine, wonder why Wheezys being so touchy on this), I am hoping theres another way out, is there? |
