I did an upgrade for my Debian server from version 7 to 8.
The upgrade was very messy, mainly due to an issue that I wrote here. I could almost tell the upgrade is not successful. But when I check the version, it says I'm already Debian 8.0.
Then I removed the linux-image-amd64
package, cleaned up my apt-get by apt-get -f install
, and want to redo the upgrade. Now it shows no errors. When I type apt-get dist-upgrade
, it tells me 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
So I'm stucked in this fake version 8.0.
I want to know how can I redo the upgrade in this case?
Thanks.
apt-cache policy $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '{print $1}') | less
. If there's no more instances ofwheezy
in the output, you're probably good.dpkg --configure -a
to resume configuration of unpacked packages? If your system isn't very broken,apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
should resume the upgrade where it left off.apt-get dist-upgrade
. It's weird.lsb_release -a
and cat debian_version tell me I'm at Debian 8.1 but I'm sure that's not correct.
