== Test case 1 ==
=== Package set ===
sarge chroot built with Prio: standard and above, with these additions:
 * apt-get install lvm2 kernel-image-2.4.27-3-686
 * tasksel install desktop

=== Results ===
Success. 153 packages removed; all sarge-only, except for akode, hotplug, and render-dev.

This page exists as an aid for working through the issues with the sarge->etch upgrade path, by providing a current picture of the recommended approaches, and their pros and cons.

Method "C"

  • edit sources.list to point to Etch
  • aptitude update
  • aptitude upgrade
  • aptitude install initrd-tools libfam0 xlibmesa-glu (all if installed; last two not needed if fixed)
  • aptitude unmarkauto openoffice.org
    • Possibly we should do the same for 2.6 kernel image packages...
  • aptitude dist-upgrade
  • aptitude update (get gpg sigs)
  • aptitude install linux-2.6-*
