Bug#909643: closed by Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> (Re: doing a dist-upgrade from debian7 to debian8 ended with a non bootable system)



Hi,
You are right Ben, this was the culprit.

The bottom line is, in a previous version of the debian distribution the busybox package was called "busybox-cvs-static".

But at a time it just gone to "busybox-static", so when doing the normal procedure of
apt-update
apt-upgrade
apt-distupgrade

it is not replaced by the newer version...

Quite a nasty pitfall.

Thanks for your time.


The screenshot shows:

"busybox 20040623-1"

You have an ancient version of busybox installed and you must upgrade
it.

Ben.
