I have a server at home that tends to be install and forget.
It's running Wheezy and zfsonlinux. Unfortunately zfsonlinux no longer supports Wheezy, so upgrading isn't as straight-forward as I would hope.
I am following instructions at https://www.howtoforge.com/ tutorial/how-to-upgrade-debian-wheezy-to-jessie-stable-release/ and one of the early steps is to do apt-get update which gets some "No public key available" for the zfsonlinux/wheezy links. This leads to the following:
root@server:/etc/apt# apt-get upgrade
You MUST use dist-upgrade not upgrade when going between releases. upgrade will ONLY upgrade packages that are already installed with the exact same name. dist-upgrade will allow new packages to be installed to satisfy dependencies and to allow transitions from old package names to new package names. Personally I never use upgrade at all, since dist-upgrade always does the right thing. -- Len Sorensen
