I just updated to 12.10 the other day, and after I successfully updated to 12.10, it's asking me to do a partial upgrade? I'm wary about it, because it shouldn't need a partial distribution upgrade, it already successfully upgraded, and it works great, and I'm worried if I let it run it'll break the install and I'll have to do a fresh install, and I really don't want to. Is it supposed to ask for a partial upgrade after successfully upgrading to 12.10?
I should also note that I upgraded from 12.04.
If you see 12.04 as the version, it means that the previous upgrade failed, and you should probably continue upgrading.
However, if you see 12.10, you should not need to upgrade but I would recommend continuing as there might be some issue in the previous upgrade.
Well, I decided to run the partial upgrade, and I would have done it before but I forgot you can review what packages will be installed/removed/upgraded. Turns out the "partial dist upgrade" was actually just wanting to upgrade the Linux kernel, and Torchlight (a game I got from Humble Indie Bundle). Torchlight needed to be removed so the new version could be installed.
