    Hi there,
    Been a long time since I needed a bit of help and as usual you guys are the best at solving my problems ;)
    So, I've had a debian 8 installed using perfect setup guide!
    Decided it is time to move to version 10.. So first I went and followed the steps in https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-upgrade-debian-8-jessie-to-9-stretch/
    All good until the last part: apt-get dist-upgrade

    Here are the last few lines before dist-upgrade failed:
    Code:

    File updated: searched for 177 files, found 148
    Errors were encountered while processing:
     roundcube-core
     roundcube-plugins
     roundcube
     fail2ban
    N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
    
    I've purged the fail2ban before doing dist-upgrade as I saw it usually crashes the upgrade.. Still there.. Did not know that about the roundcube..

    Now to the stupid question, should the upgrade do anything else after that error or this it? How can I continue with it and finish it as it should be?
    While os-release says its debian 9, should it not update to php7 and mariadb? Or did I read this wrong?

    I had to reboot as the server needs to be online so pretty much everything is working but with php5 and mysql instead of 7 and mariadb? Well, phpmyadmin URL is also dead..

    Code:
    root@server:/etc# cat /etc/os-release
    PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
    NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
    VERSION_ID="9"
    VERSION="9 (stretch)"
    VERSION_CODENAME=stretch
    ID=debian
    HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
    SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
    BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"
    
    Edit: Seems like php7 is used as default in console.. There is no FPM version of it however.. Follow the perfect setup for 9 where FPM is installed? :)

    Also, apt-get upgrade returns this:

    /var/cache/apt/archives contains a lot of files..

    Anyway to continue with dist-upgrade? If it did not go through in full..

    Was Roundcube installed from outside of Debian repositories? You should follow the Official Debian upgrade instructions:
    https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#unofficial-sources
    If you had mysql-server installed, it gets upgraded to mysql-server from Debian 9. Debian Upgrade does not force you to change database application. You can remove mysql-server etc and install mariadb-server if you so desire.
    What is working with PHP 5? The upgrade should have installed PHP 7, but I think it may not remove PHP 5. Did you install additional PHP versions or compile PHP yourself?
    What shows
    Code:
    update-alternatives --config php
    update-alternatives --config php-cgi
    Upgrade has not finished correctly. You have to repair errors and solve problems that prevent upgrade from completing. Depending on what the problem is, it may work if you remove roundcube and then do apt-get dist-upgrade again.
    When upgrade finishes without errors, you have to follow ISPConfig Perfect Server Guide for Debian 9. Check all packages are installed and configurations are according to that manual. Then force ISPConfig to do reconfigure services. All this should get you a working ISPConfig setup.
    Then do everything a second time to upgrade to Debian 10.
    It might be easier to go back to your Debian 8 setup, install a new server with Debian 10 and ISPConfig 3.1.15, then use ISPConfig Migration Tool to migrate the setup from old to new.

    Code:
    root@server:/var/cache/apt/archives# update-alternatives --config php
    There are 2 choices for the alternative php (providing /usr/bin/php).
    
      Selection    Path             Priority   Status
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    * 0            /usr/bin/php7.0   70        auto mode
      1            /usr/bin/php5     50        manual mode
      2            /usr/bin/php7.0   70        manual mode
    
    Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
    Code:
    root@server:/var/cache/apt/archives# update-alternatives --config php-cgi
    There is only one alternative in link group php-cgi (providing /usr/bin/php-cgi): /usr/bin/php5-cgi
    Nothing to configure.
    
    Okay, so that's what I wanted to hear that the dist-upgrade did not finish.. Don't really care about fail2ban and roundcube as I can reinstall those.. Just want the upgrade to be done as it should be.

    apt-get dist-upgrade returns just this:
    Code:
    root@server:/var/cache/apt/archives# apt-get dist-upgrade
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree

    I believe not, it was part of Perfect setup. Been a long time ago.. But if I do any custom things I usually write them down so there's no mention of custom roundcube in my notes..

    Ah okay, see, I read this too quickly and I thought it would do the switch while upgrading.

    Everything is working as before. The upgrade did install php 7 and like you said below, I just need to follow the setup guide to install the missing components. No PHP version were compiled, only what the setup guide had..

    Yeah, that's the thing, remove the errors and then run the dist-upgrade again.. Let's see what happens then :)
