Package: upgrade-reports Archive date: Tue May 17 20:00:01 UTC 2005 Upgrade date: 2005/05/18 12:30:00 +1200 uname -a: Linux ss5 2.4.26-ss5 #1 Tue Apr 20 11:19:22 NZST 2004 sparc GNU/Linux Method: aptitude (via instructions at http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/sparc/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html)
Contents of /etc/apt/sources.list: # APT sources for ss5.sv.naos.co.nz # deb http://stupa.sv.naos.co.nz:9999/debian sarge main contrib non-free deb http://stupa.sv.naos.co.nz:9999/non-US sarge/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://stupa.sv.naos.co.nz:9999/security sarge/updates main contrib non-free That's a local apt-proxy setup running on a Debian Woody system; it primarily uses ftp.nz.debian.org as its mirror. - Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade? If so, what were they? Yes, the system had custom compiled kernel packages (which I see are in need of updating); packages were compiled with make-kpkg from kernel.org source. It also had recompiled libssl; the host is a SparcStation 5, which (at least with Debian Woody) had considerably improved crypto (eg, ssh) performance with libssl recompiled to use the muliply/divide instructions present in the newer Sparc chips. - Was the system pre-update a pure woody system? If not, which packages were not from woody? My recollection is that this system was installed with Woody; IIRC I've had it only about 3 years. - Did any packages fail to upgrade? The only package that had issues during the upgrade was gpm, which failed to restart because it couldn't talk to the mouse device. Since the system has no mouse (I manage it serial console) this is unsurprising; I removed gpm after the upgrade. - Were there any problems with the system after upgrading? So far everything seems to be okay. I've rebooted the system and it came up okay. I've yet to decide whether I need to rebuild libssl to use the additional process instructions for faster crypto. Further Comments/Problems: I did notice a few errors on the console at one point in the ugprade: libc6.postrm[10052]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 rm[10053]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 rm[10056]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 rm[10057]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 grep[10058]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 mv[10059]: Unimplemented SPARC system call 188 but they didn't appear again after (IIRC) the first init reload, and don't seem to have appeared again after the reboot. Possibly this is related to having a custom 2.4.26 kernel. It would be a very good idea to warn people in the upgrade documentation to check they have sufficient disk space to perform the upgrade. At the low point this system had 18MB of disk left (having started with over 300MB) free: ss5:/etc/texmf/texmf.d# df -k Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 838344 776832 18924 98% / Doing "apt-get clean" helped considerably in freeing up disk space (with apt-get clean, and removing some uneeded packages, the system has about 275MB free). A number of these (older) systems will have quite small disks; that SS5 has a 1GB disk, with about 850MB available for data and the rest for swap. (There are also some NFS mounts which I umounted during the upgrade. That and the fact that it's a test machine make it practical to still use.) Unfortunately I don't have a "COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l" from before the upgrade, or from immediately after it. I do have a dpkg --get-selections from before the upgrade, and one from shortly after the upgrade. Unfortunately I'd removed some packages before taking this later dpkg --get-selections, due to the space cramp.... -=- dpkg --get-selections (before upgrade) -=- adduser install apt install apt-utils
