Of course, this was after running the force install which actually removed somewhere around 111 packages rather than installing anything. *sigh* But at least now everything seems to be working as it should be on that machine.

I wrote up this post in part as I was so dang grumpy about the upgrade and in part for me to keep track for when I upgrade this machine again after the next LTS release comes out. I'll be posting follow-ups to what I had to do to get everything working properly in the comments here if you're interested. Yup defintely looks like apache is going to need a reinstall.

Keep a list of what major apps you had running (like apache), and if it uninstalls them during the upgrade, reinstall them after. As long as you don't --purge remove any apps, you should be in fairly good shape. Even linux systems get crufty. Sometimes you just have to back up and start fresh. I certainly did on our server, when I moved from Debian Sid to Ubuntu Gutsy. Sometimes you have to ride the waves where they take you.
