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.

Thanks for the references. 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. Below a screenshot.

Thank you in advance for your help.


Kind regards,
