|
|
download some packages manually, so check that you're able to do
|

that. Some console-based download tool like ncftp (ftp) or lynx (http)
|
|
might come handy. </P

|
|
|
|
Now we change /etc/apt/sources.list to include repositories for 3.0
|
|
Note that there are only three repositories for 3.0: base, main,
|
|
update. Fire up your favourite editor (at least vi should be
|
|
installed) and update the file. A working sources.list may look like
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
<PRE
|
|
CLASS="SCREEN"
|
|
>rpm ftp://ftp.uninett.no/linux/yellowdog/apt 3.0 base main update
|
|
rpm-src ftp://ftp.uninett.no/linux/yellowdog/apt 3.0 base main update</PRE
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Now let's update the package list and check how far-fetched a
|
|
complete dist-upgrade is:
|
|
|
|
<PRE
|
|
CLASS="SCREEN"
|
|
>apt-get update
|
|
apt-get -s dist-upgrade </PRE
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
Woha! Lots of errors there. Let's resolve the worst of them. Start
|
|
with removing lots of packages. Note that after this, we can't read
|
|
man pages.
|
|
|
|
<PRE
|
|
CLASS="SCREEN"
|
|
>rpm -e kudzu kernel-pcmcia-cs rpm-python yup yi pspell aspell groff man</PRE

What's status now?

>apt-get -s dist-upgrade again</PRE

Still errors, and quite unresolvable. We have to take some more
|
|
low-level action. The really pain is to get a new version of rpm
|
|
installed, so let's start with that. Manually download the following
|
|
packages:
|
|
|
|
<PRE
|
|

We don't have use for apt for a while, so let's just remove it:

|
|

CLASS="SCREEN"

So far, so good. Now, let's upgrade glibc and rpm. This is the most
|
|
critical part. If we succeed in this, the rest is simple. If we get
|
|
this wrong, a reinstall may be the only solution. rpm has some
|
|
dependencies, so we have to include them now.

If your setup is like mine, we're stuck with the following

unresolvable error:

This seems to be a problem overseen by the packagers of YellowDog (and
|
|
to be honest, I think they inherited this error from RedHat), so we
|
|
just ignore it, use some force, and hope this won't bite us later.

Uh-oh. Ugly errors from rpm. Let's check if the rpm database still works.

Well, looks like we've really done it. Now what? Sorry to say, but
|
|
I've tricked you into ruining your computer installation. Get out
|
|
and get a life instead of looking on these old dust-collectors. Just
|
|
kidding. Luckily, rpm is able to rebuild it's databases, so we just
|
|
remove the old one and build a new.

can continue our quest for 3.0. Find the dagger and throw it at the

I've sometimes got rpm to hang at this place. It's a known bug in
|
|
rpm and can hit you anytime. If you experience this, get another
|
|
terminal (Alt+F2 if you're on the main console) , kill rpm, and
|
|
remove and rebuild the database. Then do the wanted rpm command
|
|
again.

check it out, and copy back the original if you want to.
