I have LMDE and want to go from Squeeze -> Wheezy.
Have been searching for how the source.list should look like but can't find anywhere ...
I suspect that I have some irrelevant entries in my source.list that I want clean out before updating to Wheezy.
My source.list looks like:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
# Virtualbox
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free
# Iceweasle
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ squeeze-backports iceweasel-release
# Scribus
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ stable main
deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ stable main
# Java add-on
deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all
Should I replace 'main, testing, squeeze, stable' with 'wheezy' and the just issue the commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Squeeze to Wheezy upgrade

Re: Squeeze to Wheezy upgrade
OK - but what should I do with all the 'main, testing, squeeze, stable' entries ?
Please tell me how should a correct source.list look like.

Re: Squeeze to Wheezy upgrade
get rid of this. you don't need any kind of backports in lmde.deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
isn't the scribus pkg in the repos working? what version you get from that repo? latest has 1.4.0# Scribus
deb http://debian.scribus.net/debian/ stable main
deb http://debian.tagancha.org/debian/ stable main
where? sorry but this is not clear.Should I replace 'main, testing, squeeze, stable' with 'wheezy'
almost you should always use dist-upgrade with lmdeand the just issue the commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
as for the rest, there's no real added value at this point to go from latest to testing: testing is in deep-freeze, so until fev. next year nothing special will change there and lmde in the end of aug will catch-up with testing (with UP5);
where you would get some action is moving to sid but can you handle it >> http://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable/

Thanks
Since I am trying to learn more about Linux (migrated from Windows and will never go back) the information you provided was very valuable to me.
If I have understood it right the correct source.list in my case will look like this:
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/security testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest/multimedia testing main non-free
# Virtualbox
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free
# A shell script to automate the retrieval and installation of the Oracle (Sun) Java Runtime Environment
deb http://www.duinsoft.nl/pkg debs all

Re: Squeeze to Wheezy upgrade
yep, this way you will follow the default update-pack system (UP5 will hit latest by the end of aug).
have fun
