I personally did it after the KVM refresh and it worked without any issue.
This tutorial is super detailed and if you follow it you will get a fully updated and working Debian
Well you just described one of the issues, you’ll need to request a fresh OS install to increase your success rate. Which brings it back to my point.
I personally believe that you shouldn’t upgrade unless you really have to. Will save the admins here a lot of work.
It’s just not a risk worth taking if you’re just upgrading for the sake of upgrading.
