Aigars, probably the thing to do is file bug reports against perl, quake-lib-stub, apel, gnuchessbook, setserial, libungif3g-dev. ALso, the apt-cdrom manpage says that cdroms cannot be added by hand to the apt system, but rather apt-cdrom must be used. It also says that each CD in a multi-cd set must be inserted and scanned seperately. Whether or not you had any control over this process, I just don't know.
If you want dpkg to handle Replaces: as Provides: I think you should file a wishlist bug against dpkg. I don't know how we got into the perl mess, or how we are going to get out of it, but I hope someone knows. :) As for the rest, I hope Adam can figure out the Right Thing To Do. :) Thanks On Wed, Feb 09, 2000 at 10:05:56PM +0200, Aigars Mahinovs wrote: > It seems to me that it didn't get it to the list, so I'm resending it. > > Testing object: Debian Linux CD's (2.2 pre-BETA 17-Jan-2000) > Testing environment: > CPU -- AMD 80486 DX4 120 MHz > m/b -- BMG-486SG VESA > RAM -- 32 Mb non-EDO SIMM (4x8Mb) > HDD -- WD Caviar 23200 3.2 Gb > CD -- Sony CDU4011-10 40x > Video -- Cirrus Logic GD5428 1Mb > Sound -- ESS 1868f Audio Drive > Modem-- SmartLink 5634BRS internal (Rockwell, hardware modem) > > /dev/hda1 -- VFat system drive with LoadLin > /dev/hda2 -- Linux Swap > /dev/hda3 -- Linux Native (Debian) > > Install process: > Booted into MSDOS. > Ran /cdrom/install/boot.bat. > Partitioned the drive. > Initialized swap and linux native.
