Comment 41 for bug 107188

Hello Tzvetan:

    <<For example, won't it be better to use the "old" way of
    upgrading with "aptitude dist-upgrade" [apt dist-upgrade...]
    I would be very surprised if it crashed.>>

I'd try the "apt dist-upgrade" command as well. Who knows *what*
will work at this stage? Sadly, you risk one more machine if it
fails again.

In most other respects, the KDE upgrade on the main computer is
perfect except for the upgrade crash.

Wonder what steps I (we) missed after the crash? ...and can the
upgrade tool be re-started to finish the job or can we replicate
the missed steps manually?

In the meantime...
The format and re-install of Gnome on my other machine went
famously though I'm puzzled. The upgrade tool found my LAN, the
Internet, an existing install of Win2K, got the Grub setup
correct and yet failed to install Samba?!?!? That feels more like
a design choice rather than program failure, though.
