Hello, I'm trying to get to grips with apt as I've never used it before and decided to try to upgrade my system a Cobalt RAQ2 running Woody, my /etc/apt/sources.list is:
deb ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free I did an: apt-get update followed with an apt-get upgrade And apt merrily went away and got a libc6 update. Hooray I thought this will be a good test and so it was, everything seemed to go well until apt tried to install the libc6 package. I got this error: /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: [: too many arguments When I check the version of libc6 installed it seems to be the latest: # dpkg -l | grep libc6 ii libc6 2.2.5-11.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libc6-dev 2.2.5-11.1 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-12 General Purpose Mouse Library [libc6] The final bit of the postinst script seems to try and upgrade init and I see a 're-execing init' in my logs so I assume it did this. Everything seems to be working, but this stuff is new to me and I don't know if something is now broken that will come back and bite me later. Any advice is appreciated. -- Ian MacDougall ********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.This e-mail and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
