Bug#402808: upgrade-reports: sarge -> etch: ssh conflicts with old version
Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
Situation: Upgrading from sarge to etch
Procedure used:
* Replaced "sarge" with "etch" in soures.list.
Resulting sources.list: See below
* apt-get update
* apt-get dist-upgrade
Result: apt-get dist-upgrade failed, with error message:
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-server_1%3a4.3p2-7_i386.deb
/var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client_1%3a4.3p2-7_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Another error message was found in the earlier output. I have unfortunately lost
it, but its point seemed to be that the file /etc/init.d/ssh already existed in
the old ssh package. (The old ssh package was a transitional package that could have
been removed, according to info found using aptitude.)
Solution: Removing the old ssh package using aptitude seemed to solve the problem.
