Squeeze to Wheezy to Jessie

Or Dah Boo Dah Hou

Not really much to say here: I have a LowEndSpirit server to have getles.tk sitting on it.

And it had Debian Squeeze. So I upgraded it. To Wheezy.

Boring.

Well, in fact I was a bit scared, because dist-upgrade usually isn't something going too well, but after realizing that only thing there is nginx and some sec stuff, I went for it.

So I edited sources list and apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade.

No troubles at all.
Except: libncurses5 libncursesw5 being kept back. They have some weird version:

libncurses5:  
  Installed: 5.7+20100313-5  
  Candidate: 5.9-10  
  Version table:  
     5.9-10 0  
        500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ wheezy/main i386 Packages  
 *** 5.7+20100313-5 0  
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I guess should be safe to force their upgrade, I'll do it went I am bored and report back.

Or not.

Update.

Debian 8 aka Jessie was released. So I upgraded as well. As before, no problems.

Very sweet.
