Promox Upgrade 3.4 to 4

Hmmm. Some interesting gotchas here.

Rule 1. Back up you /etc/pve configs.
Rule 2. Did I mention that they seem to get toasted on upgrade ?

Next was this tricky little bugger:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 info : Depends: install-info but it is not going to be installed
 libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.13-38+deb7u10) but 2.19-18+deb8u3 is to be installed


You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Can't go forwards, can't go back.

I ripped out install-info - no joy

Tried to take out install as well but that had dep errors.


The answer seems to be to do with locales.

I had en_GB.UTF-8 set in /etc/default/locale

So I emptied that file and /etc/environment for good measure and then ran the update and all was well with the world.

Make sure install-info is put back.


You may find you need to run any of these a number of times to get the whole thing dun, but it IS possible

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get -f install

Hope that helps someone
