Hi

I ran the usual apt-get update and apt-get upgrade just now, which I did without problems last week, to check and install any security updates and I got the following error

Code:
apt-get -u upgrade

9 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 112  not upgraded.
Need to get 2101kB of archives. After unpacking 1735kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n


Is this because it's trying to upgrade to “sarge” which was just released or is it something else? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

The Sarge version has been just released.

For more information: http://www.debian.org/News/2005/20050606
Quote:
The Debian Project is pleased to announce the official release of Debian GNU/Linux version 3.1 codenamed ``sarge'' after nearly three years of constant development. Debian GNU/Linux is a free operating system which supports a total of eleven processor architectures, includes KDE, GNOME and GNUstep desktop environments, features cryptographic software, is compatible with the FHS v2.3, and supports software developed for the LSB.

With the development of the new debian-installer, this release features a new, modular and sophisticated installation routine with integrated hardware detection and unattended installation capabilities. The installation is available in about thirty languages and includes configuration of the X server for many graphic cards.

This release includes a number of up-to-date large software packages, such as the K Desktop Environment 3.3 (KDE), the GNOME desktop environment 2.8, the GNUstep desktop, XFree86 4.3.0, GIMP 2.2.6, Mozilla 1.7.8, Galeon 1.3.20, Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2, Firefox 1.0.4, PostgreSQL 7.4.7, MySQL 4.0.24 and 4.1.11a, GNU Compiler Collection 3.3.5 (GCC), Linux kernel versions 2.4.27 and 2.6.8, Apache 1.3.33 and 2.0.54, Samba 3.0.14, Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1, Perl 5.8.4 and much more.


To upgrade:
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Thanks for that Saman and Jay , I think I'll stick with woody for now until I can spend a bit more time looking into sarge and any potential issues.

Sorry, double post - delete me!

Looks like the forums have an error when posting replies and perhaps new topics:

Has anyone had any issues upgrading from Woody to Sarge? I love the fact that it's so easy to back up an image before updating it, but it'd be great to see how well the release was received by other Linoders :)

Apparently there is the possibility of upgrade problems due to cyclical dependencies:
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/10/1537209&tid=90&tid=128&tid=106

I can't say it strongly enough: read the release notes, especially the instructions for upgrading. If you upgrade apt first, like it says, you shouldn't run into problems.
http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/i386/release-notes/index.en.html

And of course, back up everything!
