Ubuntu¶
debsums¶
debsums is a useful utility to validate packages in a ubuntu or debian system.
Usage:
sudo debsums -c
If this identifies any problems you can fix them using.:
sudo apt install --reinstall <package name>
If debsums idenfifies several packages with issues, to fix all of them use:
sudo apt install --reinstall $(dpkg -S $(debsums -c) | cut -d : -f 1 | sort -u)
For more information there is a useful post about debsums on askubuntu
Upgrade to 20.04¶
do-release-upgrade
Tip
If 20.04.1 is still not released when you run this command, then you
can upgrade using do-release-upgrade -d
.
Tip
Just so you remember, an additional SSH daemon will be started at port ‘1022’.
Select the recommended option for the LXD snap track i.e. version
4.0
This message was displayed at the end of the upgrade:

I clicked Yes to continue, and all was well.
