Re: version 0.8 of libc5 to libc6 auto-upgrade script
Hi, Craig! I updated libc5 to libc6 on 2 computers (Debian 1.3 was installed in Nov-97 and Feb-97) using your script. Worked fine for me. Updating the rest of the packages with dselect is still quite painful. Thank you, Sasha. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

version 0.8 of libc5 to libc6 auto-upgrade script
I just ran this script on an old system (somewhere between rex and bo) with lots of -dev packages installed. found and fixed two bugs. - libc6 conflicts with libpthread0 - i made a typo... PKGS_GPP instead of PKGS_LIBGPP. - some old version of perl's postrm didn't delete a .packlist file from /usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux/5.003/auto/Mail/.packlist. check for it and delete if found before installing perl. apart from those problems, it ran through cleanly. i think it's nearly finished (but i said that around version 0.2 didn't I :-) ---cut here--- #! /bin/sh DPKG=`which dpkg` LDCONFIG=`which ldconfig` # uncomment for debugging #set -x #DPKG="echo dpkg" #LDCONFIG="echo LDCONFIG" # upgrade a libc5 (bo) machine to libc6 (hamm). # based on Scott Ellis' excellent "Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO" # document at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html # Author: Craig Sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> # # Copyright Status: This script is hereby placed in the public domain # # Revision History: # v0.0: 1998-01-08 (morning) # - a rough transcript of scott's doc and my own experiences # v0.1: 1998-01-08 (night) # - a few bugfixes # - i got unlazy and put in the right subdirectories for each package. # should run a lot faster. # - now checks for failure at critical points and exits with a different # exit code for each failure. # - now uses 'binary-$(dpkg --print-installation-architecture)' instead # of 'binary-i386'. # v0.2: 1998-01-09 # - fixed the perl-base/perl install (thanks Lindsay!) # - improved the DEVPACKAGES=$(dpkg --get-selections...) and added -dbg # packages. # v0.3: 1998-01-09 (p.m.) # - fixed some directories # - changed "-iB" to "-iBE" so that if the script fails and is run again # it will not disturb things already in place. # - added a final "dpkg --configure --pending". # - sanity check that we are in the right place added # v0.4: 1998-01-10 (Igor Grobman) # - made it possible to place all packages in current dir. # - added -pic packages to removal list. # - make sure dpkg-dev does not get selected for removal. # - moved dpkg-ftp and dpkg-mounted to the end. #v0.5: 1998-01-10 (Igor Grobman) # - added a note about upgrading libraries #v0.6: 1998-01-11 (Craig Sanders) # - restructured code to avoid code duplication. # - cleaned up a few things # - prints advisory notes telling user what's happening. # - added some more instructions on what to do about development packages. # - added code to guess some obvious locations for the mirror, otherwise # ask user. #v0.7: 1998-01-11 (Craig Sanders) # - uh oh. i hard-coded in binary-i386. quick...better release another # version before James notices. #v0.8: 1998-01-11 (Craig Sanders) # - added libpthread0 to the remove list. # - fixed PKGS_LIBGPP (i mistyped it as PKGS_GPP) # - some old version of perl's postrm didn't delete a .packlist file # from /usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux/5.003/auto/Mail/.packlist. check for # it and delete if found before installing perl. # # TODO: (probably by somebody else. this script is mostly good enough imo) # - this script _still_ needs more error checking :-) ARCH="binary-$(dpkg --print-installation-architecture)" PKGS_LIBC6="base/ldso_*.deb base/libc5_*.deb base/libc6_*.deb \ base/timezones_*.deb admin/locales_*.deb" PKGS_NCURSES="libs/ncurses3.0_*.deb base/ncurses3.4_*.deb" PKGS_LIBRL="oldlibs/libreadline2_*.deb" PKGS_LIBRLG="base/libreadlineg2_*.deb" PKGS_BASH="base/bash_*.deb" PKGS_LIBGPP="devel/libg++272_*.deb" PKGS_DPKG="base/dpkg_*.deb utils/dpkg-dev_*.deb" PKGS_LIBGDBM="base/libgdbm1_*.deb devel/libgdbmg1_*.deb" PKGS_PERLBASE="base/perl-base_*.deb" PKGS_PERL="interpreters/perl_*.deb" PKGS_MOREDPKG="base/dpkg-ftp_*.deb admin/dpkg-mountable_*.deb" cat <<__EOF__ This script will install the packages necessary to ensure a safe upgrade to hamm.

It's much faster than the standard "mounted" method, and it logs everything that happens in /var/log/dpkg-mountable.
