Update Buster Testing [SOLVED]
Update Buster Testing [SOLVED]
I am running Buster-testing. As of May 21-18 there is a new build available. If I run the command "aptitude update" (without the quote marks) will I receive all the changes?

Re: Update Buster Testing
I did run it and a lot of packages appeared to update. It did stumble, as I expectedk, on one package installed directly from the app's site (Vivaldi).Bulkley wrote:It is Testing so why don't you test it? Let us know what happens.
My initial question could have been asked in a better way. Is using "aptitude update" the best way to install each new build of testinig? Is it the wrong way? Is there a better way?

Re: Update Buster Testing [SOLVED]
This is what I run on my testing machine daily. One issue with my method is I am cleaning a purging packages so I can't go back. Not a problem for me but it might be for someone else.
Code: Select all
cihonm@cihonm:~$ sudo apt update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo aptitude purge $(deborphan) && sudo apt-get autoremove

Re: Update Buster Testing [SOLVED]
^Please don't use that command, it's dangerous. As I've noted in my previous post, mixing apt and aptitude (especially on Testing/Sid) may result in a broken system and unresolved dependencies.
On top of that, you are deleting everything from the cache every time, which is pointless.
and sometimes
is all that you need on Testing. Full upgrade is used to warn about possible package breakages. If apt out of the blue wants to nuke your system, you just don't upgrade. That means, never put -y after any command, always read everything first.
