Hi,
I need to upgrade a system running 4.1 to 4.2, but before I do I want to list out all the packages that will be updated/installed/removed. I can run up2date -l to get a list of updates but does that show packages that need to be installed and removed as well or just the updates?
Second, how would I go about upgrading 4.1 to 4.2 instead of 4.8 (i.e. latest update).
You just don't. It doesn't help to upgrade from a version which is four and a half years old to a version which is four years old. Both have real security issues, both had bug fixes to several of the applications running there.
