Can anybody help If you want your system to remain at stable, get the source and compile it yourself. The cyrus21-imapd deb has a number of dependencies that are only available in unstable - including libc6, it depends upon 2.3.1-1 and the version in stable is 2.2.5-11.2. -- Seneca [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

upgrading package - configuration file
Hello Can anybody tell me what happens when the config file format of a package changed from one version to the next. I mean, in the process of downloading, unpacking and installing the upgrade, what really happens? Are diffs used for this (config files)? Is this all up to the package maintainer? Sorry if these are trivial question. My assumption is that both, old and new configuration files will be around, ready for the sysadmin for merging, correct? Cheers Sven
Out of memory when upgrading package
I upgraded several potato packages today and when apt-get was trying to install xcontrib it gave an out of memory error. The load was quite high, sometimes over 2.0 and most of my 64 MB of RAM and all my 130 MB of swap was in use. Needless to say, the system was extremely sluggish and several attempts to do anything resulted in segfaults. I was able to kill the processes with ctrl-c (it appears to have been in the post-removal script for the previous version at this point). apt-get clean doesn't report any problems and dpkg still reports the previous version is installed. Is there anything I should do at this point? Bob -- Bob Nielsen Internet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
