Upgrade Debian: Etch to Lenny
De gacq wiki
Add new public key
gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv-keys 9AA38DCD55BE302B gpg --armor --export 9AA38DCD55BE302B | sudo apt-key add -
Update packages
1) Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and replace "etch" to "lenny"
2) Do the upgrade
aptitude update aptitude install dpkg aptitude apt aptitude full-upgrade
Configuration files:
- Except special configurations overwrite /etc/securetty
Problems generated by the upgrade:
- salsauth not staring because now require run directory
- courier-imap-ssl does not work with fetchmail because of SSL version issue
- MoinMoin stop working (http error 500)
- Trac stop working
- Mailman switch default language english
- Xen kernel not upgraded / Hypervisor not upgraded too
Notes for Xen users
My way:
- Upgrade all DomUs
- Shutdown all DomUs
- Upgrade Dom0
- Install xen kernel and hypervisor
- Change kernel and initrd for all DomUs
- Reboot
