anticapitalista wrote:To add about the lsb errors.
Following Debian Testing, the upgrade now wants users to use Dependency Based Boot via insserv (it is faster).
This happens automatically on upgrade, except it doesn't on antiX-M8.2 (and earlier) because of the lsb errors in ejecrcd and mepis-network.

Solution 1:
1. Remove /etc/init.d/ejecrcd file as root with the file manager and remove mepis-network (apt-get purge mepis-network)
2. In a rooot terminal dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc and choose yes.

Solution 2:
1. In /etc/init.d edit the ejecrcd file to look like this and rename in ejectcd. Same with mepis-network
2. In a rooot terminal dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc and choose yes.

The above issues have been resolved in the new (still beta) release.

The general rule (unless you know what you're doing) is to accept the new configuration files that come with the updates (even though the default is set to 'N').
If I remember well there are some exceptions for packages modaliases and libsmpbase, but maybe that's only for Debian unstable.

As for the graphic environment not coming, I can't say for sure. But you should keep up with 'apt-get dist-upgrade', that's the proper way of doing things (but then it shows when some package or repository doesn't comply with the standards)
