I just did an apt-get dist-upgrade to reach Jessie 8.7 from Wheezy.

I am of the opinion that attempting an in-place major version upgrade of an operating system or a service is folly. The only reliable method is to do a fresh install on another computer, and then migrate.


This means you need at least three computers -- one that you are migrating off, one that you are migrating onto, and one (or more) for everything else you need to keep operational while you do the migration. Mobile racks and spare drives will help immensely.
