Upgrade Maui 1 -> Maui 2

[leszek]

Hi,

we uploaded a new version of the package maui-apt-config which will change some of our default repositories. 
These now link to a snapshotcopy of the neon repository under our control. The normal neon.list therefore got removed.

To get on the new maui-2 release channels, please use the following commands:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -q -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confnew" maui-apt-config
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the last command went through fine, you can also do a cleanup via

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt autoremove

This allows us to control the flow of updated plasma versions a little bit more and assure our users to have the latest and greatest of stable packages without the likelyhoof of breaking something (the same goes for the previously used package repository packages.netrunner.com that got removed aswell and is now a linked snapshot concurrent together with the snapshots of neon).

We hope to improve stability with this move and provide an overall better experience for our users. 

Please post any questions or issues here.

So when doing an apt-get update/upgrade im assuming you answer yes to all these type questions:
"Configuration file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic'
==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
*** 10periodic (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? y "

Just noticed that now when running apt-get update i get a message at the end
"Reading package lists... Done
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://ds9-maui.s3-website.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/maui-2-packages xenial InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386' "

Just noticed that now when running  apt-get update i get a message at the end

Me too

Yeah that is just a info. We don't provide i386 packages for our repo. It will not appear in mintUpdate or other graphical tools.

Just to put my finding into the official post as well:
After the upgrade, the package base-files pops up in the new upgrade list - don't upgrade it, just refresh the list once more and it will disappear.

I read your text just now and I remember that I got a relative update lately but I chose the "O" (The default action is to keep your current version) .... I used to do this for years with linux mint....
What I have to do now in order to update to the newest maui-apt-config ? (I can see to me version 1.4.7)
Thanks !

[leszek]

Reinstall the package should help I guess.

I have the 1.4.7 version ! I hope it is ok but I am not sure !
Thanks.

You can remove the package. And install it again. This should change the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list to the following

Code:

# Do not edit this file manually, use Software Sources instead.

# Maui specific Packages

It also should remove the neon.list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d .
If you have that then everything should be alright.
