Since you encountered some leftover packages, I'd like to get your feedback on the upgrade in general and then get issues you found fixed :-) Feel free to contact me using any email/IRC https://launchpad.net/~nskaggsNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15930081400608193441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20663524.post-54038110206442328922012-03-13T16:52:26.032+02:002012-03-13T16:52:26.032+02:00What is 'upgrade-system'?

The only official supported Ubuntu upgrade tool is 'do-release-upgrade' (or 'update-manager' if you want a GUI).Marius Gedminashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155998626202067226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20663524.post-50794237728768934272012-03-13T16:20:06.914+02:002012-03-13T16:20:06.914+02:00Hi Eric, thanks for sharing this bit of informatio...Hi Eric, thanks for sharing this bit of information. I was intrigued by this fleece variable you used :)<br /><br />Here's what the manpage[1] says:<br /><br /> FLAUSCH<br /> Setting this variable enables various extremely pedantic purge options.<br /> This feature is totally experimental; usage is strongly discouraged and<br /> should only be attempted by truly experienced Debian administrators. It<br /> can be used to sanitize a Debian system after a distribution upgrade or<br /> to detect packages that don't conform to the Debian Policy. Setting the<br /> variable as a command line environment, only when needed, is considered<br /> a safer approach than adding it to upgrade-system.conf variables.<br /><br />[1] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man5/upgrade-system.conf.5.htmlMagicFabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552790971744201006noreply@blogger.com
