The problem is that postgreql73 and postgresql73-ssl (but not their splitoffs) no longer exist, and the .info file needs to be modified (maintainer cced). On Wed, 2003-06-18 at 11:57, Frank Schima wrote: Hi, I am trying to install GRASS and not getting anywhere. I am using the unstable tree

That probably means that in your attempts to install and uninstall, you've removed the file, or your PATH isn't set up. 1) Do you have /usr/X11R6/bin/startx on your system? 2a) If not, what method did you last use to install XFree86? 2b) If you do have startx, what do you get from running
