I think you want to install the "postgresql-upgrade" package, and then run
"pg_upgrade".
Fedora 22 includes a script called postgresql-setup which claims to be able to
do the upgrade.
I couldn't get it to work - because of the locale change and also because it
does not allow the specification of the new cluster location.
Eventually, I used initdb and pg_upgrade to do the job.
2. Amavisd-new no longer works due to issues with PERL.
This seems to be a result of updating PERL from 5.18 to 5.20 breaking a bunch
of modules.
I thought that I had resolved these by following the hints in cpan error
messages but cannot install Net::LibIDN because idna.h is missing.
I am forced to run without spam or virus checking as a result.
Whenever you can, avoid installing modules from CPAN. They will probably
always break on a platform upgrade. Instead, install the module from rpm:
dnf install perl-Net-LibIDN
Thanks for that. I was not aware that this was possible.
I eventually fixed this by downloading and installing the latest libidn (as
well as the one that was there) and cpan upgrade and reinstalling a bunch of
modules.
There seems to be no compatibility between PERL 5.18 and 5.20.
3. All of my local sendmail aliases disappeared causing many inbound emails to
be rejected.
I manually rebuilt /etc/mail/aliases to fix this.
Question?
No question, just a warning to others.
4. After rebooting to F22, I had only one workspace.
I reconfigured to four via settings but now I get apparently random blank
screen with just the mouse cursor visible. Not even a task bar.
The only way that I have found to get my work spaces back is to logout and
login again.
I've seen some users have similar problems on GNOME upgrades. It appears to
be gnome-settings-daemon crashing in the cases I've seen, and the only way
I've found to clear it is to remove .config/dconf/user, which nukes *all* of
the settings in dconf. It sucks, but GNOME decided they wanted a single
binary configuration store, so...
I'm still using KDE. Touch wood, the issue seems to have gone away since I
changed the screen saver settings.
I used to use the screen saver that trawls through my image files but that
seems to have disappeared in F22.
5. Some fonts (particularly within Wine apps??) have changed and are much less
readable than before.
MyHeritage Family Tree Builder is one example. I have no idea which fonts were
used in F21 nor in F22.
Can't help there. Sorry.
