To avoid a bad exit status from the fail you can tell apt-get to --download-only when doing the dist-upgrade:
apt-get update apt-get --download-only dist-upgrade apt-clone dist-upgrade NB: when you do this download it only downloads for the global zone. The non-global zones do their own download AFAIK. -Tim Erast Benson wrote: > you can safely interrupt it... it is stuck during download somewhere. > > try: > > apt-get update > apt-get dist-upgrade <= this one will fail, but it will download bits > apt-clone dist-upgrade > > On Thu, 2008-02-14 at 00:19 +0800, Aubrey Li wrote: > >> I'm sitting on RC3 now and using apt-clone upgrade to upgrade the system. >> Several hours past, the system is still waiting as below: >> ======================= >> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-clone upgrade >> This operation will upgrade your system using ZFS capabilities. >> Proceed ?
