Hi Del, I can change the wiki, I don't know what to change it to ;) My background is 95% CentOS with 5% Ubuntu 14.04 as a test of a 'more convenient' working environment. Based upon what you've said, then yes there is a serious problem with the Debian wiki page as the instructions as given (AKAIU) are going to upgrade their distribution instead of just upgrading their TDE version. This section from the Debian Aptitude instruction page, also explicitly states not to use 'full-upgrade,' so again the instructions on TDE Debian Wiki are almost guaranteed to be 'wrong.' https://wiki.debian.org/Aptitude How to upgrade your distribution Upgrading from one stable release to the next (e.g. Lenny to Squeeze) is done by following the release notes for your architecture. For most people with 32 bit systems that means the Release Notes for Intel x86. For most with 64 bit systems that means the Release Notes for AMD64. Using full-upgrade in the regular course of events is no longer the recommended practice (unless you are running sid, in which case you should not need to be reading this.) Minor release upgrades (e.g. from lenny 5.0.1 to 5.0.2) and security updates are done with safe-upgrade. Find out the current version of Debian that you are running: $ cat /etc/debian_version Example for upgrading from, e.g., etch 4.0r1 to 4.0r2 ...etc., or applying security upgrades: # aptitude update # aptitude safe-upgrade Looking at the Ubuntu page, the same 'error' has been published: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Ubuntu_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Instructions 6.2 Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation sudo aptitude full-upgrade # # # # # At my level of 'aptitude' knowledge, I can tell the instructions as given are almost guaranteed to be erroneous, and very liable to cause some serious ill will, but what the correct instructions for 'aptitude' systems should be is beyond me. Therefore: Would someone go 'fix' all the TDE 'aptitude' Wiki pages? Or, if the TDE instructions as given are correct, then explain the discrepancies with published 'aptitude' sources?
