Re: [DNG] Advice to migrate from Beowulf to Chimaera
Hey Olaf, Στις 22/4/21 11:55 π.μ., ο/η Olaf Meeuwissen via Dng έγραψε: Is debfoster smart(er) about asking what you want to keep? As in asking you about the packages that keep most of the other packages installed first (rather than going through potential removals alphabetically)? yes. debfoster only asks about installed packages : "Keep, Y/N" and keeps all dependant installed packages on "Y" , or adds another question about keeping dependencies on a "N". after first succesful run, you're only asked about newly installed packages from that moment on.. debfoster installation has no real dependencies (just already installed libc iirc) and it's just one command to run (=easy to remember). d.

I would suggest dpkg -S instead of apt-file find, which matches prefix, not
exact file. I would also filter on the package name and ensure unicity. Also,
never log in as root.
Here would me my quick & dirty take at your command chain:
find /usr/bin -atime +360 | xargs -l1 sudo dpkg -S | awk -F ':' '{print $1}' |
sort | uniq
Nice command. If found some 76 packages, including, for example, gcc-4.8,
setcd, wmtime...
Thanks to all also for the apt- and debfoster- based methods. They need more
thought.
On the dark side, something bad happened during the upgrade, which I only
realized later:
*pulseaudio* was surreptitiously installed. Beowulf worked well without it,
and Chimaera also worked well as soon as I removed it.
*python* was not installed at all. How come?
Best
Ale
