Linux Lite 6.2 Final Released
Jerry:
Some interesting info. The lite-themes packages contains 142,000 files, by contrast, the linux image directory for the 6.0 kernel is 7,000 files.
Extracting the lite-themes package in a VM or low end hardware is going to take quite a while, and may give the impression that nothing is happening. Lite Themes is generally only released during Linux Lite releases, and deliberately at least 3 days prior to the official release so as to not impact on people's upgrade experience. That might be why some people say that the upgrade is stalling or they kill it before it has a chance to end, or have to reboot more than once.
At the end of the day, if you are patient and follow the Upgrade instructions to the letter, there should be no issues. In 10 years I think I've released Lite Upgrade twice where it has had an unforseen bug, in which case each time, it is very quickly patched and released straight away. I'm quite paranoid and very careful when it comes to testing over and over, the Lite Upgrade package.

The first update attempt failed in both cases (one in qemu on Debian, one on a quad core CPU bare metal) but after waiting a few minutes both second attempts at updates were successful. The upgrade routine then ran smoothly and quickly for both. Curious about the cause, maybe linked to kernel fwupd? I did not reboot between the two attempts at updates and both machines had ample RAM and disk space. I was using the default US repo.

The upgrade logs in each instance would provide clues.

It seems the error happened to many. It happened to me too, but I forgot if I rebooted. I guess that being in the CLI, I just reissued "sudo apt upgrade" and it worked.
The error came from "lite-patch" and I guess it was an internal dpkg - System signalling error.
Thinking and reading about "kernel fwupd", makes me belive that fwupd is vulnerable to CPU tick delays, which often occure when storage media is involved. I got this kind of errors when working on some programs written in RapidQ and Gambas.
The Repo:
I switched to a Romanian mirror, so it's debatable if there was a wget error.
Best regards! :)

I'm nothing like an expert in computers, let alone programmer expert. Yet, I posted a video showing me run Linux Lite 6.2 RC 1 in Virtual Box:

May I question the good will of the reviewer?
Best regards! :)
