I recently reinstalled Debian 2.0 (long story) and wanted to put slink back on as well. Now, in November, I had cleaned my system out and did a full reinstall of Debian 2.0, re-dselected slink ... and watched as miles and miles of ncurses errors flooded my screen. I eventually realized that I was getting packages from the unstable and not the frozen directory; I didn't notice that slink had moved Once I fized that, eveything installed fine.
So, this time I updated everything from the frozen directory ... and again the ncurses errors. I thought that perhaps some things had been moved to the stable directory, so after reinstalling (nothing worked on my system after the update) I dselected from the stable directory. Sure enough, there were some updates - including ones for all the ncurses libraries. "Ah hah", I thought. I updated those - things went fine - and then updated from frozen. And again got clobbered by ncurses errors. And again nothing worked - I had to do a hard reboot to shut down linux. So .... 1) Is the frozen directory currently hosed or did I overlook something again? And 2) Any idea when slink will be released as a stable release? Thanks - Sean
