Debathena packages for Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy have been ready for several days
now. The process for upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy is as follows:
0) If you haven't done so already, upgrade your normal Ubuntu packages to
Hardy using "sudo do-release-upgrade". Reboot into the new Hardy kernel.
1) make sure you update your /etc/apt/sources.list (or
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debathena.list) file, replacing "gutsy" with
"hardy" (you should end up with something that looks like the examples on
http://http://debathena.mit.edu/install). Run "sudo aptitude update".
2) use "sudo aptitude install openafs-modules-`uname -r`" to get openafs
modules for your new kernel. (if you don't do this, you will get errors
of the form "aklog: unable to obtain tokens for cell athena.mit.edu
(status: 11862788)" when you try to authenticate to AFS).
3) use aptitude dist-upgrade to upgrade your other debathena packages.
If you haven't upgraded your Debathena packages recently, there are a few
transitions going on in Debathena you might want to be aware of. One is
the /mit automounter transition; aptitude will probably want to remove
debathena-autofs-config and replace it with debathena-afuse-automounter.
The other is the new debathena-msmtp-mta package. This allows email
clients to use your Kerberos tickets to send authenticated mail through
outgoing.mit.edu by running /usr/sbin/sendmail, like a normal mail
transport agent (without this package, only (al)pine will send
authenticated mail).
However, the debathena-msmtp-mta package conflicts with other mail
transport agents like postfix or exim. If you are intentionally running a
local mail server on your machine, you should not install this package;
you can tell aptitude to do this by typing "-debathena-msmtp-mta" at the
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
prompt.
