-How to upgrade a linux Debian Distor
+====How to upgrade a linux Debian Distor====

 I have learned it the hardway and for years I've not been able to fully upgrade a linux Distro without errors. Most of the time I ended up to re-install the new Distro and restore the old data.

 First you should always use aptitude as an upgrade tool.

+aptitude -y -s -f - -with-recommends dist-upgrade\\
+aptitude safe-upgrade\\
+aptitude dist-upgrade\\
+Now if you encounter dependancy errors after distrib note the names of the package errors and do the following:
+dpkg - -remove package_name\\
+aptitude -f install\\
+dpkg - -configure - -pending\\
+In extreme cases you have to resolve conflicts with a force command like
+dpkg -r - -force-depends and your package_name
+That should do the trick.
