Try dpkg --pending --configure a couple of times and see what packages are problem children. At a very minimum, it will tell you what's broke. Remember what they are, and then work with that. A couple of times are needed because: #dpkg --pending --configure package snarfus requires package whatzit, but package whatzit is not installed. installing package whatzit. package snarfus failed. #dpkg --pending --configure installing package snarfus. installation complete. This usually happens when you upgrade a large quantity of packages at one time. Speaking of dselect, there's been a thread on one of the Debian lists that goes like this: "Dselect is evil" nate wrote: > i just got debian installed tonight and when i took it > home and did the "dselect" thing to install all of the > packages i got one error that stops the whole thing > that says "installation script returned error exit > stats 100" i'v gotten this three out of three trys, > just wondering if this is normal or how to get rid of it. > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
