I'm trying to replace svgalib-1.2.8 with svgalib-1.2.9 I'm running debian 0.93R6
I grabbed the source for 1.2.9 and applied the same diffs as were applied to 1.2.8 to make the debain package. I edited the debian.rules file to change the version to 1.29-0, and then created the .deb package. So far so good. So, what's the command to actually install the thing? I tried dpkg -i svgalib-1.29-0.deb / which (I think) has worked for me before. However, it fails with an error from dpkg-split about / being a directory and not a file. So, I tried dropping svgalib-1.29-0.deb into my mirror of debian/stable/binary/graphics, and used dselect. It got unpacked ok, but now configuring is failing with the message: Must specify -r or -w. dpkg: error processing svgalib (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: svgalib dpkg --configure returned error exit status 1.
