Still, I expected much much better of an offline upgrade than getting only 80 32 bit packages replaced by 64 bit. Even the old kernels were left in place.
I think that the old kernels should remain, but together with the new kernels.
In a normal upgrade, of course, but for what use on a system with no other 32 bit binaries except compats, as this kind of upgrade is expected to produce?
Maybe... just an idea. Maybe it didn't work right because it is an upgrade of the same release number. Maybe 13.1-32 to 13.2-64 would go right. Maybe many packages were not upgraded because it was in fact a downgrade.
Think: the 64 bit libraries in the install media would be older than the updated 32 bit libraries in the installation.
The "install media" was HTTP, which includes the two update repos, and so includes the exact versions installed on the target before beginning the upgrade.
This would explain the low number of upgraded packages. Still, it is strange... a DVD upgrade should replace everything in sight, regardless of version. But you say it is not a DVD... should not matter, if it is the iso image of the DVD. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
