Okay, I've had this sparc for a year or so, and up until today it was running RedHat v6.2 without problems. I have gotten rather sick of RedHat recently, and having had such a good time with debian on my x86 boxes, I decided to migrate this box over, with the intention of moving 2 others afterwards.
Anyway, I've managed to get the base system installed, however I am having the following two problems... 1. When using vi to edit a file, it will not allow me to write any changes to disk after modifying them. I can create a new file using cat, and then copy it over to the correct file name, but vi just won't do it for me. 2. The second problem involves using apt-get. I am getting an error that a package has an incorrect 'Depends' field. The exact error is: dpkg: parse error, in file '/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 16078 package 'tinyproxy': 'Depends' field, reference to 'libc6': version contains ' ' E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) If any of you have the wisdom that is needed to solve these problems, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. -- Chris Mutchler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux defcon4 2.4.18 #10 Fri Mar 15 11:40:12 GMT 2002 i686 unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
