Updating docker with dist-upgrade on wheezy?

[bcellx1]

Hi all, I’m running docker with around 50 containers on Debian Wheezy,
had to upgrade the kernel to 3.14
all is working decently good.

My /etc/apt/sources.list has a couple of changes:

deb ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib
deb ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main
deb ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-backports main non-free contrib
(<- this)
deb https://get.docker.io/ubuntu docker main (<- and this)

and currently I have installed those packages:

root@linux:~# dpkg -l|grep -i docker
ii lxc-docker 1.2.0
amd64 Linux container runtime
ii lxc-docker-1.2.0 1.2.0
amd64 Linux container runtime

and the kernel:
ii linux-image-3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64 3.14.15-2~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux 3.14 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 3.2.65-1+deb7u1
amd64 Linux 3.2 for 64-bit PCs
ii linux-image-amd64 3.14+59~bpo70+1
amd64 Linux for 64-bit PCs (meta-package)

apt-get update and upgrade runs fine, but reports:
root@linux:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
The following packages have been kept back:
linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64 lxc-docker
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

while if trying dist-upgrade, that’s the result:

root@linux:~# apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists… Done

Reading state information… Done

The following packages will be REMOVED:
lxc-docker-1.2.0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
cgroupfs-mount irqbalance libcap-ng0 libnuma1
linux-headers-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 linux-headers-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-common
linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 linux-kbuild-3.16 lxc-docker-1.5.0
The following packages will be upgraded:
linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64 lxc-docker
3 upgraded, 9 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 43.5 MB of archives.
After this operation, 190 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Abort.

Question: should I answer Y and have docker upgraded ?

Thank you.

if you want to update to the latest Docker, and a potentially less buggy Kernel, then yes. You will need to reboot.

The final decision depends entirely on your specific uptime needs.

Perfect thanks for supporting.

Confirmed, dist-upgrade was able to upgrade both docker and the kernel without any issue.
