I am subbed Dan, don't need the Cc:
Tell me where to read about an insitu upgrade from stretch to buster, its
running very well on 5 other machines here.
Or is that what apt wants to do this Monday morning by wanting to upgrade
2588 packages? This is an uptodate stretch, last checked day before
yesterdaty, aka Saturday, but now it wants to do this:
root@coyote:~$ apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates InRelease
Hit:2 http://linuxcnc.org stretch InRelease
Hit:3 https://deb.debian.org/debian oldstable InRelease
Hit:4
http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debian
stretch InRelease
Hit:5 http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian
stretch InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
2588 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.
2 hours later it still wants to do that. That is enough to put me on
buster. IF it works. That is the $64,000 question, will it work? Or has
somebody misscopied the apt list from buster to stretch?
Thanks Dan.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
