I just changed all "hoary" references in /etc/apt/source.list to "breezy" and then did a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. I also removed any non Ubuntu blessed mirrors to be safe. So I just had "main" "universe" and "multiverse".

I use Kubuntu and had a few glitches that I had to work around with dpkg. Also, the new Kaffeine only installed the gstreamer video engine but without avi codecs. I went and installed kaffeine-xine and switched the engine and it works fine. If you use the Gnome desktop I'll bet gstreamer will be installed properly. There were a couple file conflicts between packages (xlibmesa-dri was one). I used dpkg --purge to clear out the existing packages and then apt-get -f install and apt-get dist-upgrade repeatedly until everything was installed. All in all I think I spent about an hour fussing with it. I already had the new KDE mirrors for 3.4.2 and an updated kaffeine player so the upgrade isn't all that noticiable on a superficial level. I'm looking forward to the release though :)

anyway, ymmv.

Kind Regards
