Re: Upgrade problems..
Bob, thanks for the information..
I wish this was in the autoup.sh documentation!
Watching the recent traffic on upgrade problems, and issues makes me wonder..
One concluded that it isin't automatic, and you really have to know all the
dependencies, that dselect will only have shallow knowledge of local
dependencies.
This raises the question, how much Unix expertise do you need to be able to
live with Linux, Debian..?
In fact, a lot of the dependencies are not Unix general, but specific to a
particular environment, Emacs, man, troff, X11, etc...
Are we at the simplest way? what is next? I know our Solaris system does
not have any upgrades this complex. I am not sure how they manage their
upgrades...
