Well it was early in the morning, I was tired, thought to myself, "I really hate myself, I'm going to upgrade the production servers from Ubuntu 18 to 20 LTS". Backups, who needs backups, I don't think the dependencies have changed in this version release.

@oracle You fool!

@adiwan Yeah yeah, I know. I literally didn't even test anything because I had an identical dev environment that worked. What I didn't know, is that the dev environment was broken due to an update, I didn't know because I hadn't opened the dev environment for a few weeks.

@oracle I'm crazy with my "rolling release" Debian Experimental. Any time used *buntu and dist-upgraded it was always a hell and ended up in a complete re-install for the sake of saving time fixing each issue individually.
-
@adiwan I know what you mean, the LTS releases bundle too many programs together in my opinion. In my f-up, it was the upgrade to python 3.8 that caused most of my problems.
-
@oracle My upgrades aren't peachy either. Often I have to manually handle a less than fortunate set of dependencies due to conflicts or just unavailable packages. I don't mind that as I make a little game out of it and the frequency of those problems is not that bad. Strangely most of the time samba and python are the cause of an issue.
