Just thought I'd report that I have successfully (I am quite confident
:-) upgraded my Debian Sid to Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog. I followed the
"instructions" on the Wiki, nothing too complicated happened:
1. Modifying /etc/apt/sources.list
2. 'apt-get update'
3. 'apt-get dist-upgrade' failed due to gnumeric requiring some
libraries. I was told to do 'apt-get -f install' and that did indeed
take care of it.
4. 'apt-get dist-upgrade' failed again, complaining about
/etc/init.d/xfree86-common still existing (it was cleaning out some
stuff in /etc/rcX.d but failed, it was on some xfree86 package).
Manually removing the file and then running 'apt-get' again fixed
that.
I was planning on updating the Wiki, but it seems ubuntulinux.org is
down (my ISP has been known to suck at times though).
