| I followed the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser#Are_cross-grades_possible 
 Needed one more :amd64 package which I installed, then installed the dpkg-amd64 successfully. 
 This "worked." Rebooted to the 64-bit kernel, everything OK. 
 Did apt-get update. 
 So now I have 90+ "broken" packages. If I "fix," it will simply (re-)install dpkg, putting me back on i386. 
 Then, (with no new update), have 20+ broken packages (:amd64) which the "fix" will simply remove. Most of these have been around a while and were never flagged or gave problems (since simply never used). 
 So how do I complete the changeover? 
 Or do I simply reinstall the old dpkg and apt-get update, then hopefully back where I started, await updated crossgrade procedure? |
