potato to sid upgrade error 32 broken pipe
Had an extra hard drive lying around, decided to give sid a twirl. Installed minimal potato without X. Changed sources to point to unstable. Typed apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade as usual. Halfway thru upgrade I get: --- 90 packages upgraded, 17 newly installed, 0 toremove and 3 not upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0B/19.5MB of archives. After unpacking 13.0MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory E: Write error - write (32 Broken pipe) E: Failure running sript /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt sid:~# Nevere ran into an error of this type. Should have I upgraded to woody first, then unstable? Any suggestions appreciated.

The required packages are probably in your cache. I suggest trying to manually install perl packages till you get one to configure (dpkg -i someperlpack.deb). Then get the others. Once you have a complete perl installation, try apt again. Mike

Just run apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get -f install until both commands have finished (I had to do this over 20 times before my upgrade was complete!). Greetz, Sebastiaan
Re: potato to sid upgrade error 32 broken pipe
I had the same problem while doing exactly the same thing last week. Unfortunately, cant remember exactly how it was solved. There is a package in /var/cache/apt/archives that needs to installed manually using dpkg. I think it was a libc package or a db2 something. you can just do dpkg -i filename.deb sorry about the vagueness of the package names - it was 2am. Hope this helps Shri --- Sebastiaan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- 90 packages upgraded, 17 newly installed, 0 toremove and 3 not upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed.

Re: potato to sid upgrade error 32 broken pipe
This is a problem alright. You may want to get debian-testing in on this, as a smooth potato - woody transition is getting more vital by the day. When woody freezes, there MUST be a smooth upgrade path from potato On Wed, 1 Aug 2001, Sebastiaan wrote: --- 90 packages upgraded, 17 newly installed, 0 toremove and 3 not upgraded. 3 packages not fully installed or removed.
