I did *not* run 'apt-get update'/'apt-get dist-upgrade', but I ran 'apt dist-upgrade' directly. I must admit that I remembered the meaning of section 4.4.4 wrong. To avoid removing packages, it is indeed recommended to do the two step. Otto, are you now saying that without any action, mysql-server-5.x will be upgraded to mariadb-server-10.1? If that is true, could that be made more explicit in the text? If that isn't true, can it be made more explicit when the system administrator is supposed to install default-mysql-server during upgrades (that is what I tried to accomplish in my "improvement")? Maybe just mention that without update before dist-upgrade things go wrong. That would already make my experience worth while. Paul
