Understood, I completely agree.
This is the home cloud nothing mission critical and I am one to take the journey rather than the destination. Its all about learning for me.
I’ll take the help if I can get it, but ill invest the time to do this while I try things.
So looks like I just needed some rest, I thought I resolved my install issue but I didn’t .
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: dpkg : Breaks: man-db (< 2.6.3-6~) but 2.6.2-1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
the above was an omv-update command, I have run several dpkg commands and apt-get install -f with similar issues.
Good (?) news is its not really OMV issue its a man-db issue and the upgrade process stalled because of it.
Ill update this thread later on today on my progress. Thanks for the support, I am already happy with the kernel improvements going to allow me to do further experimentation with a cloned vm for 4.x upgrade.
