[chef] Re: Suggested way to upgrade chef-client?

A disadvantage of manually downloading and installing Debian packages is that dpkg doesn't manage dependencies.  If your system never uses apt-get, but instead you do your own dependency management somehow, that's arguably a possible strategy.  It was how Solaris packages were managed.  But if you do use apt-get, then manually installing some packages with dpkg throws the model into an inconsistent state.

Hi,

I'm wondering how one should upgrade the chef-client omnibus package.

I'm moving away from the old apt repo for version 10 and am currently
downloading the .deb files and then installing them.
Is this the (only) right way?

Thanks for your response
Steffen
