Hi!

I've just done an update, and faced (for me surprisingly lot) problems.
I'd like to ask if it's a local problem at me, or u met them too. Here's
a short list:

1, init issuses: dennis already wrote about it, update hangs when an
service restart fails. It happened w/ nfs and mysql for me. Ctrl-C
helps, but couldn't it be 'backgrounded' or something, to prevent hang
the whole process up?

2, lget errors: i saw 8-10 modules, when lget couldn't download the
source. neither from teh original source, nor from the lunar mirror.
When i saw the problem, i easily could get all the sources w/ mc w/o any
mistakes. I saw this behaviour eg w/ these modules: ORBit2,
bonobo-activation, pango, arts, kde3libs, MPlayer fonts, etc. Again,
sources were on the location lget searched for them.

3, qt3 couldn't install, it stoped at trying to mv
/opt/lunar/qt/3/expamles. When i manually renamed the wholw
/opt/lunar/qt/3/ directory, it installed w/o problem.

Overall, completing the update (of about 40 modules) needed relatively
much manual work compared to the last update. Were i just unlucky, or
there might be a problem somewhere?

thx, hirisov
