A work in progress > '1.3->current' upgrade howto is here: > > http://frugalware.org/docs/upgrade I attempted this, but as soon as pacman-g2 is updated it begins to Segfault on every package. Example: :: Retrieving packages from frugalware-current... ( 1/465) libpng-1.4.4-1 [ ] -2147483648% 0K 0.0K/s Internal pacman-g2 error: Segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report, with the given package if appropriate. My first guess was it is linked to a library that is not yet updated. So I reverted it back to the previous version and started over, but had the same result. Probably a topic for another thread or maybe a bug report. If it is a defect in pacman-g2, it would seem I ought to see it fixed in stable before I upgrade to current. In the meantime, any sense in submitting these patches to current while running stable, or should I hold off until I'm fully upgraded? Thanks.
