#211188 — Buster RC 1 upgrade to stable

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I had to use Buster RC 1 to successfully install Debian on a new laptop
(from Zareason) since I couldn't get Stretch stable to work.

Now that Buster is stable, how should I proceed to upgrade to it. So far I
have not found the official Debian doc that describes the correct way--and
all I've seen on this list are procedures for those who upgraded to testing
from Stretch.

Thanks.

-Tom

  Tom,

  look at /etc/apt/sources.list and see what it says.

  if there are lines in there with buster or stable
on them then you should already be all set up to do 
an update followed by and upgrade or full-upgrade 
with apt.

  (as root or via sudo)

  i know some people do automatic upgrades so perhaps
your system is already up to date, but i can't tell that
from here.  :)

  if any of the commands above do strange things or
recommend you do something you don't like then don't
answer them Y and let us know what is up and someone 
can lend a further hand.

  since buster is now stable there may not be any
updates to it until some security updates or some point 
releases happen (i.e. the above commands may not 
show any thing needing to be done).

Sorry, I should have posted my settings. I have bunches of house guests
(kids and grankids) but I will do that as soon as I can find a quiet moment.

Thanks, songbird!

Best,

Just for the archives, the RC1 referred to the Debian Installer itself. 
What exactly you installed depends on the image and options selected 
during the install.

Below is applicable if your sources have only 'buster' in it. If you 
have 'testing' instead and you want to stay with buster you should not 
do anything before checking you don't have any package version from 
testing/bullseye.

Then you should change your sources from 'testing' to 'buster' and 
update/upgrade as needed.

If you have 'buster' in sources.list:

APT (the package manager) has a new security feature where it will 
require some kind of confirmation from you if a repository you have been 
using suddenly changes.

In your case buster has changed from testing to stable.

The easiest for you would be to run 'apt update', read the warning 
message carefully and confirm if the change is to be expected (somethink 
like "'buster' has changed from 'testing' to 'stable'").

There are ways to do this with apt-get as well if you insist (read the 
manpage). If you are not explicitly tied to a specific tool now would be 
a good time to switch to 'apt update' and 'apt upgrade'
('apt full-upgrade' should not be needed on a pure Debian stable).

Other tools (aptitude at least) might not have the needed interface to 
deal with this.

Kind regards,
Andrei
P.S. All above should eventually make it into the FAQ linked in my .sig.

Hello. Just do sudo apt update, sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt full-upgrade. Is recommended to use apt. If you use apt-get and if you see this message "E: Repository 'http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing' to 'stable'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.", then just do apt-get --allow-releaseinfo-change update.
With apt command, all you have to do is to agree with changes (just press Y). Good luck!
Meow!
