The notes just say something like "upgrade all your packages". Most people will then just try and run pkg upgrade and get that error without knowing how to solve it. It's not intuitive unless you have come across this before. -- Matt

Did that warning appear in this case? Cheers, Matthew -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Totally agree and since even though I had followed the instructions prior to that step, it had also fried my mate installation and GUI so ... I could not access control center or anything since it was gone ... I almost wiped and reverted back to 10.1 misinterpreting the outcome first ... once I ran that command, I reinstalled everything again and it fixed the mate package and machine was back to normal ...
