“etch-and-a-half”, Debian Etch R4 released

If you can, use

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

in some kind of sandbox (”lab-conditions”). For me everything went smooth.

  • Once upon a time as the encryption keys of debian systems were broken, I did this line on my system since a test application told me to…. and what did it do? It tampered with my MYSQL installation and converted it back from 5.x to 4.x. All my databases were considered broken suddenly. What a shock!

    Since then, I call this line the devil’s line.
