Upgrade Devuan Chimaera to Daedalus
Before trying to upgrade, ensure that zstd is installed or initramfs will fail and will not rebuild again.
$ sudo apt-get install zstd
BACKUP SERVER IMAGE
Start by replacing all occurrences of chimaera with daedalus inside /etc/apt/sources.list. You should have those three lines, everything else should be commented out for now:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main # This one is additional deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-backports main
Next to a manual update of the package lists:
$ sudo apt-get update
Upgrade the installed packages to the latest versions and keep in mind that this does not complete the Chimaera->Daedalus migration.
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Now perform the migration:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Finish by cleaning up the orphaned packages and any left-overs from the previous Devuan installation.
$ sudo apt autoremove --purge $ sudo apt autoclean
Done. Reboot and it should all be dandy.
