I just went through an upgrade again.. (Someone accidentally set KDE source to latest on a box, and the next guy went upgrade ) 3.1.4 -> latest If you are going to try.. start off by replacing the 3.1.4 source line to.. deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian stable main deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xfree86 woody main deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/debian-openoffice/ woody-test main contrib And do a remove of openoffice.org1.1-mimelnk, as that deb is left installed.. Do it first will save you some troubles.. Remember, this upgrades Xfree, so be ready for a lot of questions.. In our case we lost.. kdepim-libs kivio koffice-libs libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev openoffice.org1.1 openoffice.org1.1-bin openoffice.org1.1-debian-files openoffice.org1.1-help-en openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en qt3-dev-tools xpdf xpdf-reader And after install we had the following held back.. libnspr4 libnss3 libpaperg mozilla mozilla-browser mozilla-mailnews mozilla-psm xlibmesa-dev aspell debhelper 'aspell' had to remove.. 'debhelper' worked by doing apt-get install 'libpaperg' worked by doing apt-get install 'xlibmesa-dev' worked by doing an apt-get install The mozilla stuff won't install, as it has dependency issues.. However, I think we can move to firefox or similar.. So an 'apt-get remove libnspr4 libnss3 mozilla mozilla-browser mozilla-mailnews mozilla-psm' cleaned the system up to a stable state again. Then install 'mozilla-firefox' if you want.. But the upgrade was a lttle easier this time than last.. -- "Catch the Magic of Linux..." -------------------------------------------------------- Michael Peddemors - Senior Systems Developer LinuxAdministration - Internet Services NetworkServices - Programming - Security Wizard IT Services http://www.wizard.ca Linux Support Specialist - http://www.linuxmagic.com LinuxMagic is a Registered TradeMark of Wizard Tower TechnoServices Ltd. -------------------------------------------------------- (604)589-0037 Beautiful British Columbia, Canada This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
