Just a small hint: personally I tend to always use the "-b" option to
create a backup copy of the previous version (usually saved in
/var/tmp).
This way if your testing (!) didn't catch some issues you can go back
to the exact (more or less) environment you had before the upgrade.
After a little while you can then delete the backed up version to
reclaim space and keep things tidy.
