Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mikko.parviainen@iki.fi
Hello,
My previous release is: bookworm
I am upgrading to: trixie
Archive date: Not sure, upgrade done on 10th August 2025
Upgrade date: 10th August 2025, around 10 UTC+2
uname -a before upgrade: not available as didn't think of running it
uname -a after upgrade: Linux kolibri 6.12.38+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.38-1 (2025-07-16) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Method: change `/etc/apt/sources.list` to point to trixie
Then:
* apt update
* apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs
* apt full-upgrade
Contents of /etc/apt/sources.list:
------
#deb cdrom:[Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 12.10.0 xfce 2025-03-15T09:09:36Z]/ bookworm main non-free-firmware

- Were there any non-Debian packages installed before the upgrade? If
so, what were they?
Steam, Discord, Sublime text have been installed but they probably don't
contribute to this.
- Was the system pre-update a 'pure' system only containing packages
from the previous release? If not, which packages were not from that
release?
Yes, this was pure, except for the non-Debian packages
- Did any packages fail to upgrade?
No.
- Were there any problems with the system after upgrading?
During the upgrade, I was using KDE Plasma, X Window version. I left the
upgrade running and came to check it a bit later.
The screen lock had crashed or something, and there were friendly instructions
on the screen.
However, the instructions said to go to a virtual tty, log in, and type:
logictl unlock-session 2
I did just that, but got only the error that `logictl` does not exist.
After getting on an another computer and searching for this type of
error, I figured out that the proper command is
loginctl unlock-session 2
So, I think this is not a major issue but the typo in the instructions
should be fixed. I have no idea where it is and I'm not grepping the
debian package sources to figure it out. Just add the 'n' in the proper
place, please.
Further Comments/Problems:
Please attach the output of "COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l" (or "env COLUMNS ...",
depending on your shell) from before and after the upgrade so that we
know what packages were installed on your system.
No, I don't think I will. Just find out the 'logictl' and fix the typo.
Thank you.
