System 2 is very difficult to upgrade, and for all the work it takes to sort out the endless issues, it's easier, cleaner and infinitely faster to backup, format the root partition, and reinstall. On these systems, I'm up and running again in 10 minutes, and spend maybe 30 minutes re-adding the repos and reinstalling 3rd party apps.
It takes me weeks to install fresh with absolutely everything configured and tested. Things which are configured by root, not user, and thus do not reside on the home partition. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 12.3 x86_64 "Dartmouth" at Telcontar)
