Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: squeeze <command>aptitude</command> can show you detailed information of the disk space needed for the installation. Before executing the upgrade, you can see this estimate by running: </para> <screen> # aptitude -y -s -f dist-upgrade [ ... ] XXX upgraded, XXX newly installed, XXX to remove and XXX not upgraded. Need to get xx.xMB/yyyMB of archives. After unpacking AAAMB will be used. Would download/install/remove packages. </screen> This section should have aptitude replaced by apt-get, since that's what we'll recommend for the upgrade to squeeze aiui.

I have fixed this bug related to the recommendation of using aptitude by changing the line in the release notes to recommend using instead: apt-get -o APT::Get::Trivial-Only=true dist-upgrade I've test this in a pure lenny system (with the desktop task installed) and gives much better results than aptitude as aptitude barks with errors when asked to dist-upgrade. I've also noted in the release notes that apt-get will provide an error message if there is no sufficient disk space available for the upgrade. Regards JavierAttachment: signature.asc
