I've done that too, on many production servers. The only little
|
|
(unimportant) catch is to replace "kernel-headers" by "glibc-kernheaders",
|
|
a simple "apt-get install glibc-kernheaders" taking care of that.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading between releases is meant to work, not between betas or beta and
|
|
releases. The reason is simple : Some packages may have been downgraded,
|
|
some others may have been rebuilt with the same versions but different
|
|
dependencies. For both these categories of packages, the upgrade through
|
|
apt/rhn/whatever just won't do, as some older packages might be considered
|
|
as the newest, thus being kept on the system.
|
|
|
|
As Red Hat does, I really don't recommend trying to upgrade between betas
|
|
or from a beta to a final release either. Simply backup your /home, /etc
|
|
(and /root and/or /usr/local/ if needed) then reinstall cleanly, it'll
|
|
probably save a few hassles and you'll get the cleanest possible system ;-)
