h1. Debian 10 to 11
h2. Pre update check
h3. Stretch check
Check if any sources still point to stretch
<pre>
cd /etc/apt
grep -nr stretch .
</pre>
If so, bring those up to buster and run updates first

h3. Metapackage check
Check to make sure kernel metapackage is installed, not just specific kernel
@dpkg -l "linux-image*" | grep ^ii | grep -i meta@ should have results
If not, install metapackage

h3. Purged package check
List and purge removed packages with config files remaining
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#purge-removed-packages
<pre>

These commands should have no results
<pre>
aptitude search "~ahold"
dpkg --get-selections | grep 'hold$'
</pre>
h2. Update sources list
Check which sources exist that point to buster
<pre>
cd /etc/apt
grep -nr buster .
</pre>
Edit the main list, and any others that come up

</pre>

* if a PTC server check the "recovery plan":https://redmine.palantetech.coop/projects/pt/wiki/Recovery_Plan entry for that server to make sure everything has recovered
h3. Check what packages were removed
* @cat /var/log/apt/history.log | grep Remove@
* copy that into ongoing updates documentation for records
* Make make sure there was nothing important in there
* If there were important packages in there
** check aptitude to see if newer versions were already installed
** check debian package search to search for what version is appropriate
