I'm now following testing and I had two dependency problems already: * the first one is between libc6 and libnss which is required by the distributed-net package: libc6: 2.2-6 libnss1-compat: 2.1.3-13 depends libc6 (= 2.1.3-13) distributed-net: 2.7106-7.1 depends libnss1-compat
I guess the reasoning is that non-free software should not hold back free software and who cares about non-free software anyway :-/. Well, I uninstalled distribued-net, I run my prime-net package anyway :-) Still, what is libnss1-compat still doing in testing? One cannot install it anymore since there is no libc6 version 2.1.3 in testing (by extension the same goes for distributed-net). * the other problem leaves me completely lost: I want to try Window Maker, and while I'm at it, it would seem to make sense to also install wmakerconf. But it looks like I cannot do that: wmaker: 0.61.1-4 wmakerconf: 2.4-4 depends wmakerconf-data >= 0.61.1 wmakerconf-data: 0.62.0-1 conflicts wmaker << 1.0, wmaker 0.62.0 So, can anyone tell me how to install wmakerconf from testing? What is the ifupdown package? On my system ifup and ifdown are part of netbase. Or does this indicate a soon to come split of the netbase package? Also when upgrading locales I did what they said: Ctrl-Z, edit /etc/... and then fg. That really did not work well, after the fg the keyboard input was no longer working. Only Ctrl-C worked (badly of course) and then the display had a case of staircase :-(((. A logout, re-dselect, re-install solved it fortunately (shows the installation process is quite resilient, that's good). -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't -- Eric Jong
