-<p>The last few days I have done some upgrade testing in Debian, to
-see if the upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze will go smoothly. A few bugs
-have been discovered and reported in the process
-(<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/585410">#585410</a> in nagios3-cgi,
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/584879">#584879</a> already fixed in
-enscript and <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/584861">#584861</a> in
-kdebase-workspace-data), and to get a more regular testing going on, I
-am working on a script to automate the test.</p>
-
-<p>The idea is to create a Lenny chroot and use tasksel to install a
-Gnome or KDE desktop installation inside the chroot before upgrading
-it. To ensure no services are started in the chroot, a policy-rc.d
-script is inserted. To make sure tasksel believe it is to install a
-desktop on a laptop, the tasksel tests are replaced in the chroot
-(only acceptable because this is a throw-away chroot).</p>
-
-<p>A naive upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze using aptitude dist-upgrade
-currently always fail because udev refuses to upgrade with the kernel
-in Lenny, so to avoid that problem the file /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade
-is created. The bug report
-<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/566000">#566000</a> make me suspect
-this problem do not trigger in a chroot, but I touch the file anyway
-to make sure the upgrade go well. Testing on virtual and real
-hardware have failed me because of udev so far, and creating this file
-do the trick in such settings anyway. This is a
-<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/failed-dist-upgrade-due-to-udev-config_sysfs_deprecated-nonsense-804130/">known
-issue</a> and the current udev behaviour is intended by the udev
-maintainer because he lack the resources to rewrite udev to keep
-working with old kernels or something like that. I really wish the
-udev upstream would keep udev backwards compatible, to avoid such
-upgrade problem, but given that they fail to do so, I guess
-documenting the way out of this mess is the best option we got for
-Debian Squeeze.</p>
-
-<p>Anyway, back to the task at hand, testing upgrades. This test
-script, which I call <tt>upgrade-test</tt> for now, is doing the
-trick:</p>
-
-<blockquote><pre>
-#!/bin/sh
-set -ex
-
-if [ "$1" ] ; then

-}
-mount -t proc proc $tmpdir/proc
-# Make sure proc is unmounted also on failure
-trap exit_cleanup EXIT INT
-

-
-echo deb $mirror $to main > $tmpdir/etc/apt/sources.list
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude update
-touch $tmpdir/etc/udev/kernel-upgrade
-chroot $tmpdir aptitude -y dist-upgrade
-fuser -mv
-</pre></blockquote>

-<p>I suspect it would be useful to test upgrades with both apt-get and
-with aptitude, but I have not had time to look at how they behave
-differently so far. I hope to get a cron job running to do the test
-regularly and post the result on the web. The Gnome upgrade currently
-work, while the KDE upgrade fail because of the bug in
-kdebase-workspace-data</p>
-
-<p>I am not quite sure what kind of extract from the huge upgrade logs
-(KDE 167 KiB, Gnome 516 KiB) it make sense to include in this blog
-post, so I will refrain from trying. I can report that for Gnome,
-aptitude report 760 packages upgraded, 448 newly installed, 129 to
-remove and 1 not upgraded and 1024MB need to be downloaded while for
-KDE the same numbers are 702 packages upgraded, 507 newly installed,
-193 to remove and 0 not upgraded and 1117MB need to be downloaded</p>
-
-<p>I am very happy to notice that the Gnome desktop + laptop upgrade
-is able to migrate to dependency based boot sequencing and parallel
-booting without a hitch. Was unsure if there were still bugs with
-packages failing to clean up their obsolete init.d script during
-upgrades, and no such problem seem to affect the Gnome desktop+laptop
-packages.</p>
+<p>I'm still running upgrade testing of the
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/~pere/debian-upgrade-testing/">Lenny
+Gnome and KDE Desktop</a>, but have not had time to spend on reporting the
+status. Here is a short update based on a test I ran 20101118.</p>
+
+<p>I still do not know what a correct migration should look like, so I
+report any differences between apt and aptitude and hope someone else
+can see if anything should be changed.</p>
