I have tested the new libio-enabled Debian GNU/Hurd system and I encountered some problems regarding some packages:
libdb2 had to be removed because it pre-depends on the old libc0.2, not on libc0.3. Some important packages depend on this one, e.g. apt-utils. I think it should be rebuilt on the new system. "apt-get update" fails because the Packages file on 'ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main' can't be correctly parsed: * package libauthen-smb-perl has an empty "Depends:" section * package libweakref-perl has also the same problem Perhaps the maintainers of these packages should be contacted, or possibly this is a consequence of the libdb2 problem. Some important packages are still not in the archives: * screen (for virtual terminals) * vim (*the* editor) * icewm or an other popular WM for X11 Nevertheless, you have done a great job creating this new libio-enabled Debian GNU/Hurd distribution. Many thanks to the folks out there! Michael Krueger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
