I updated one laptop a month or two ago using the process on
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html,
and it worked smoothly. Then I tried the same thing yesterday on a
second laptop, except that I forgot to get rid of a wheezy backports
entry; instead, I just did a blanket replace of wheezy with jessie.
After doing the apt-get upgrade, I got a few packages with bugs, but I
let them proceed, as the bugs didn't seem to apply to me (one referred
to difficulties when running in a VM, for example).
After the apt-get dist-upgrade, lots more bugs were reported:

I commented out the backports entry and ran apt-get update, apt-get
upgrade, and apt-get dist-upgrade before getting the above output.
I am guessing there are two problems--one with texlive and one with
packages with errors. Any advice on how to proceed efficiently and
successfully?
- Accept all these; they aren't really bad.
- I don't really care about Evolution, as I use Gnus.
- I'll likely replace gutenprint with what comes with the latest
hplips.
- Still, I would use emacs24, gnome, and others here.
- Pin them all (there are a lot).
- If you suggest this, advice on how would be helpful. I only get Y/n
options, no ability to pin one package at a time.
- Something else?
Thanks,
Bill
