Upgrade of squeeze hangs on apt (0.7.26~exp3)
With a brand new installation of squeeze, one of my first steps was to do a package update and a safe-upgrade. The former went well, but when I tried to upgrade the 22 updated packages, the upgrade proceedure terminated with: Reading changelogs ... done apt (0.7.26~exp3) experimental; urgency=low * apt-ftparchive now reads the standard configuration files in /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/apt.conf.d and after some more lines ends with /tmp/tmp (END) and it takes a Ctl-C to break back to a command prompt. The upgrade process is terminated and nothing was actually upgraded. I can repeat, and each time only the tmp file id number changes, but the 22 packages are still not upgraded. A google search leaves me unclear, but it seems that some experimental features of apt are being merged into squeeze. Should I just ignore this until such time as a clean upgrade becomes possible? Is there a work-around? Haines Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Is there a work-around? Yes! Push the 'q' key instead of ctrl-c or perhaps ':' then 'q', I forget if that update placed you in less or vi Hope that helps. -M
