As the guy who started the thread, I have to say my first shot was an
upgrade from 9.10.
The main problem was that the Repositories didn't update the available
software for another day, so all the tests I was trying to run ended up
straight to limbo.
Nevertheless, as it is the LTS, I clean installe

Hi Simon,
