Installed from the luon.net repository: ca-luon-certificate and ildus-client.
Own kernel package: kernel-image-2.4.25-distance.
- Was the system pre-update a pure woody system? If not, which packages
were not from woody?
None.
- Did any packages fail to upgrade?
Yes, I had really only one problem out of all packages and services that
this server runs:
Setting up php4-cli (4.3.10-13) ...
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/doc/php4-common/examples/php.ini': No such file
or directory
dpkg: error processing php4-cli (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of php4-pear:
php4-pear depends on php4-cli; however:
Package php4-cli is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing php4-pear (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
php4-cli
php4-pear
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover:
Setting up php4-cli (4.3.10-13) ...

or directory

php4-pear
- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?
After fixing the problem no problems whatsoever.
Further Comments/Problems:
I had numerous questions about overwriting configfiles which dpkg claimed I
had changed, but I am sure of I really never have.
I had disk space problems during the first dist-upgrade iteration, because
the root disk is only 500MB. This resulted in a lot of errors.
I have moved /var/cache/apt/archives to a different partition and linked it.
All I wanted to note is that aptitude/apt/dpkg acted very resilient with
respect to these problem, it worked out fine.
