According to what I have documented in my Dokuwiki, it was that way used for me to start the process of upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy, and from Wheezy to Jessie: -------------------------------------------------------------------- # aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade -V (change "jessie" to "stretch" on /etc/apt/source.list) # apt-get update # apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude -V (...) -------------------------------------------------------------------- And I had no problems on those occasions. But perhaps it is not applicable this time. >> # apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude -V >> >> But this seems to cause some VLC dependencies to break: >> >> -------------------------------------------------------------------- >> Reading package lists...

Thanks also, Lisi, for your interest. I've tried a different approach, starting with a minimal upgrade using "apt-get upgrade -V", and then upgrading the kernel and udev. Finally a complete upgrade with "apt-get dist-upgrade -V". On that way I can upgrade without problems. Now I have some issues with KDE. I'm not sure if it have to do with the video driver, but when I open an application or interact with KDE, the image starts shaking and some areas turn black.
