i'd need to downgrade sh to the latest 3.1 version, been trying to pin the version in apt preferences or use aptitude but it doesn't want to work. (Best possible to GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu))
Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum :)
I have a very small AIX admin experience and for my first week in this new company, i got to downgrade a P5 server from AIX 6.1 to 5.3... so I have a few questions because I never did an install of AIX before nor a downgrade..

I recently upgraded from Etch to Lenny. There were a few hiccoughs, but I was able to sort most of these out myself. There is just one little niggle left that I have no idea how to go about fixing. My CD-ROM now ejects on boot, and will not stay closed. When I boot the system, I notice that... (0 Replies)

Hi,
I don't think this is a new problem, but I can't find a solution anywhere, and it's quite annoying:
In the office, I have a workstation running Debian Lenny with Gnome, and I've copied my ssh key to some other machines for secure and easy login without havin' to remember all the passwords.... (8 Replies)
I have been running Debian Lenny on this current PC for about a year. Since installation, I have had no major issues. Last night, I lazily tapped out:
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude upgrade
I quickly scanned what it said would be changed and did not notice anything that may be... (12 Replies)

upgrade-system.conf
UPGRADE-SYSTEM.CONF(5) Debian GNU/Linux UPGRADE-SYSTEM.CONF(5)NAME
upgrade-system.conf - Configuration file for upgrade-system(8)DESCRIPTION
upgrade-system.conf is the configuration file for the upgrade-system(8) Debian administration utility. This file specifies command options
used for calling apt-get(8) and deborphan(1) within upgrade-system(8).
Lines starting with a hash mark ("#") and empty lines are ignored.
EXAMPLE
The configuration file contains four variables:
CLEANOPTS
This variable selects which one of autoclean or clean to execute as the apt-get(8) cleaning command. For example:
CLEANOPTS="clean"
Consult the apt-get(8) manual page to check which options are available for any particular APT version, before setting this variable.
UPGRADEOPTS
This variable specifies which one of dist-upgrade or upgrade to execute as the apt-get(8) upgrade command and the command options. For
example:
UPGRADEOPTS="-f -u dist-upgrade"
Consult the apt-get(8) manual page to check which options are available for any particular APT version, before setting this variable.
ORPHANOPTS
This variable specifies deborphan(1) command options. For example:
ORPHANOPTS="--guess-all --libdevel --priority=2"
One should read the deborphan(1) manual page to check which options are available for any particular version, before setting this variable.
FLAUSCH
Setting this variable enables various extremely pedantic purge options. This feature is totally experimental; usage is strongly discour-
aged and should only be attempted by truly experienced Debian administrators. It can be used to sanitize a Debian system after a distribu-
tion upgrade or to detect packages that don't conform to the Debian Policy. Setting the variable as a command line environment, only when
needed, is considered a safer approach than adding it to upgrade-system.conf variables.
SECURITY
Because upgrade-system is an APT front-end, all precautions relating to APT configuration should be observed. Special attention is required
to:
deborphan
Certain combinations of deborphan(1) options purge a dangerous quantity of packages, potentially leaving a system in a severely crippled
state.
/etc/apt/preferences
To prevent untested packages from overwriting stable ones, setting this combination of APT preferences is recommended:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 990
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 100
Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 1
This enforces a priority to packages from Stable, yet still allows ones from Testing, Unstable or Experimental to get installed via appro-
priate apt-get(8) options to override the default release.
