upgrade path stuck with errors, seg faults, sudo sparky-aptus

[pavroo]

It's really unfair telling something like that Galen.
I have posted all what you have to do, but if you did not read it so I will specially make it again for you.

Step one
Leave lxde desktop - switch to openbox or any and run:

Code Select Expand

apt-get remove lxsession lxsession-logout lxsession-data
even the operation will remove some lxde packages.
Just remember or right it down what will be removed, such as lxde, sparky-center-lxde, etc.
After removing run:

Step two

Code Select Expand

apt-get update
apt-get install lxde
and missing lxde packages.
Then (recommended):

Code Select Expand

apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install -f
reboot

DO NOT UPGRADE YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE YOU FINISH THE STEP ONE.

I've done another install of 3.5 and the fatal upgrade path is caused by a full upgrade and not a safe upgrade.
A safe upgrade was applied and rebooted,
a full upgrade then caused the lock up.
Mystery solved.
