Subject: Some serious bugs when upgrading from Debian Buster (10) to Debian
 Bullseye (11)
Message-ID: <ccaa8c5cc2e3757c46feb776c6ad6a16838c5e3b.camel@zak.co.il>

I have at last upgraded my desktop Debian Linux installation from
Debian Buster to Debian Bullseye.

However, I found that some packages have frightening bugs reported
against them, which do not seem to have been fixed for long time.

Does anyone know if I really need to be afraid of those bugs?


The packages in question are:

grub-pc - #1019564: (during upgrade) grub-install: warning: Attempting
to install GRUB to a disk with multiple partition labels.  This is not
supported yet

fwupd-amd64-signed - #973715: fwupd-amd64-signed: Uninstallable; not
binNMU-friendly


Those packages (and some other packages) are currently pinned at a
Buster version and whenever I start aptitude to install security
upgrades, I have to manually cancel removals of the above packages and
some packages upon which they depend.

Thanks,
--- Omer Zak

Hi all,

GoLUG stands for Greater Orlando Linux User Group: Many of us are in Orlando Florida
and were too wiped out by Hurricane Ian to plan a presentation. So instead we're
going to have a Free Software Bull Session (FSBS) starting in 1/2 hour, meaning 7PM
Eastern DAYLIGHT time on 10/5/2022.?

We'd love it if you join up. Syeed Ali will be there, and he's always a great
conversation starter. Join us at https://meet.jit.si/golug?.

Thanks,

SteveT
GoLUG Publicity Coordinator

Hi,

I have a remote Ubuntu 22.04 server. How do I check which kernel I'm using,
and how do I upgrade the kernel to its latest stable version without
risking the server?

Thanks,
Uri Rodberg, Speedy Net.

uname -r    will tell you the current version
I currently have  5.15.0-48-generic   but do not remeber if that is the
latest (it was a couple of months ago)

To upgrade, the following worked for me, although, for various reasons I
did it a bit differently:

BTW - in addition to my previous answer, when I usded the method I
suggested, I originally made an error and upgraded to a more advanced
version (5.19.*) that was not supported by Ubuntu. Everything worked
fine, but I did have a problem with VirtualBox so needed to "downgrade"
to a supported version which is now 5.15.**
