Hi

Just tried to upgrade from testing 180 to testing 182.  
The logs for 180 and 181 are looking ok.

But update-core-upgrade-182.log shows:

* * *

```auto
.....

removed '/usr/lib/liblzma.so.5.4.5'

```

ipfire is runing on Xen virtual machine.  
I did not tried to reboot till now.  
find / -name “liblzma\*” is showing /usr/lib/liblzma.so only

may be possible to boot as there are boot files in /boot

```auto
