Repository bugzilla package changed to bugzilla3 in Lenny; upgradable?
- by Pukku
This question was asked in debianhelp.org almost half a year ago, but never got an answer. I wasn't the one who posted it, however I was today facing exactly the same question. Not sure if copying it to here as such is considered as inappropriate or something, but there's not really anything that I would even like to paraphrase... So let's just go. (I'm sure you will be happy to close it, if this is not the way to go :)
Hello all! We are using a Bugzilla
server install on a Debian 4/Etch
server and are starting to look at the
upgrade to Debian 5/Lenny. I was
hoping to upgrade the existing
Bugzilla server and database from the
oldstable (v2.22) to the newer stable
in Lenny (v3) when we get to doing a
dist-upgrade. However from testing in
a virtual machine it seems that the
old package was called "Bugzilla"
whereas the Lenny package is called
"Bugzilla3" and I could not figure a
way to directly upgrade between the
two.
Is it possible to establish some kind
of upgrade path quickly after the
dist-upgrade to minimise downtime
using apt-get or aptitude? Going on
past experiences I would not want to
do a fresh install with the Bugzilla3
package and attempt to inject the old
database into it (previous attempts
failed miserably!) :(
