#1064 — Bug#869849: upgrade-reports: Successful upgrade (Jessie->Stretch) on a W550s

Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: normal

I just performed a reasonably smooth and successful upgrade from Jessie
to Stretch on a Lenovo W550. The system was previously mostly Jessie,
with some stuff from backports, some packages from unstable, one or two
from third party repositories, and perhaps some still left from
deb-multimedia.

The upgrade went smoothly. Deciding what to do about new configuration
files is always difficult, and one doesn't always have that much
patience during an upgrade, but I haven't seen any problems yet arising
out of my choices (generally keep mine when I know I've made significant
changes, otherwise allow installations of the new one).

My new Stretch system did suffer from a bad bug in the chrony package
that broke the whole ifupdown system:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=868491

But this was easily fixed by manually downloading and installing the
fixed version from unstable.

I was a bit nonplussed when upon reboot I ended up in lightdm's login
screen, rather than my usual VT - this is apparently because
xfce4-session now recommends light-locker, which depends on lightdm. I
use xscreensaver, but I learned a while ago that for security, I
probably should be logging in via a dm rather than doing startx from a
console (since X crashing or being shutdown could leave an attacker with
a logged in console), so I decided to leave lightdm installed.

The system did lockup shortly after the actual installation (while I was
performing some post-installation housekeeping, purging removed
packages, IIRC), but the problem has not recurred.

I'm probably still in the process of finding kinks in the new system,
and I'll report them here as I do, but on the whole, the upgrade went
quite well. Thank you all for maintaing this great operating system!
