FWIW: My customers are happy I can do an upgrade from debian 9 to debian 11 (via 10) using just one changewindow. Before we had LTS, I had to use 2 changewindows on 2 different days for that.

Skipping a release has never been supported, plenty of maintainer scripts and lower level tooling only handle migration steps for the subsequent release. It also doesn't make LTS releases moot, since it's they among other things they enable to deploy a setup to a baremetal server through the typical 4-5 years lifetime. Cheers, Moritz

Thats correct, although some folks want Debian to not drop things that help skip upgrades wherever possible. https://diziet.dreamwidth.org/13087.html https://diziet.dreamwidth.org/11840.html -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi, thanks for the information. AFAIK skipping releases is not supported. You have to go through all releases step-by-step. Regards Anton Am Mo., 24.

Upgrades from Stretch to Bullseye and from Buster to Bookworm broken
Hello LTS team! Users of Debian LTS are currently affected by a bug that prevents skipping Debian releases. If skipping a release is not possible in an upgrade, it makes using LTS kind of moot. For discoverability, I posted a summary and workaround steps at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993755#62 I hope you find this useful. - Otto
