Fwd: Re: [SAC] [SECURITY] [DSA 2360-1] Two month advance notification for upcoming end-of-life for Debian oldstable (lenny)

OSL Team,

Looks like we got stuck upgrading the OSGeo Adhoc VM Debian version.
Details included below. Main person working on the upgrade is Hamish
<hamish_b at yahoo.com> if there are questions. A full backup of /etc is in
/root/

Does OSUOSL team have a recommended method for doing distro upgrades?

Thanks,
Alex
OSGeo System Administration Committee

Hi,

well, I got as far as upgrading the stuff which didn't need dist-upgrade,
then the kernel and udev, but upon rebooting directly after installing
udev it doesn't seem to want to come back up. :-(
maybe stuck on fsck wanting to press "c" to continue or something..?

manual edits (sync with earlier custom mods) of note were to bootmisc.sh
and hosts.deny.

some host level intervention on the non-virtual machine is requested to
see what the trouble is..


thanks,
Hamish
