Upgrade to Maverick

• Started dist upgrade at 5:45pm

I didn't feel like burning a CD this time and I had performed a few successful upgrades relying on the servers. My work desktop managed an upgrade in about an hour and a half.

• traceroute is no longer supported by Canonical?

I got errors during the upgrade about these items:

• squid (claimed that it didn't upgrade)
• phpmyadmin
• samba
• something about the updater

But, YAY, media wiki didn't get messed up.

• a vestigal php5 config file was left behind for mhash which caused this error to be emailed to root every 30 min:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mhash.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

The bug is documented here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/541439/+activity

The fix was to remove the file /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/mhash.ini

• when I ssh into my machine, I now get two landscape banners, one for lucid and one for maverick:

My fix was to remove the file /etc/motd.tail

• hobbit says that amavisd is no longer running

synaptic said that amavisd-new was installed, but amavisd-new-postfix was not so I installed amavisd-new-postfix and got this error:

Stopping amavisd: (not running).
Starting amavisd:   The value of variable $myhostname is "weasel", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's 
  network name!
(failed).
invoke-rc.d: initscript amavis, action "restart" failed.

I get the same error when manually trying to start amavis:

root@weasel:~# /etc/init.d/amavis start
Starting amavisd:   The value of variable $myhostname is "weasel", but should have been
  a fully qualified domain name; perhaps uname(3) did not provide such.
  You must explicitly assign a FQDN of this host to variable $myhostname
  in /etc/amavis/conf.d/05-node_id, or fix what uname(3) provides as a host's 
  network name!
(failed).

I love lucid and helpful error statements. I entered a FQDN in the config file and restarted amavis.

There were 29 messages in the queue when I got amavis restarted. Within a minute, the queue started to drain by itself.

Now hobbit reports all services are green.
