-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 My Debian perl vs. stable.tar.gz fiasco continues. Prior to today, I could still use apt-get to install packages, but it now appears that all attempted installations are failing.
I need to back out of this pretty quick. I'm thinking the fastest way to correct the problem would be to: 1) uninstall the manual perl (5.6.1) installation 2) $ dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep perl \ | cut -s -f1 > perl-file 3) force a purge on all perl-related .debs appearing in perl-file 4) $ dpkg --set-selections < perl-file 5) $ apt-get update 6) $ apt-get dist-upgrade Does anyone see any problems with this? I really need to get this thing corrected pdq. Any advice and/or assistance is most welcome. - -- ____) ,_) (-(__ -|- _ _ ____) | (/_\/(/_ ( _______________________________________________ | mailto : [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | linux : http://exitwound.org | | mozart : http://mozart.sourceforge.net | | buck : http://www.BuckOwensFan.com | _______________________________________________ | You will lose an important disk file. | _______________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7ADt3r9c0KwefYXMRArA0AJ9tWjWZHP/3GRiRVxbSD0qaL3zepQCfdjpV NB9W8iLKHDRUSBetIbhulzQ= =dEuP -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
