upgrading slink to potato

2000-02-23 Thread Joseph Lunderville 
um, is it possible to upgrade to potato from slink yet? when I try, I get 
problems with recursive pre-dependencies between libc6, ldso, and 
debianutils. I think I broke my system (I sort of expected to) by forcing 
things, but once things are fixed, I will want to upgrade again.


please CC replies to my address, thx.

Upgrading slink to potato

1999-09-12 Thread 
Hi,

I have this computer, running Debian 2.1, and another one running Debian 2.2
Now I want to upgrade the 2.1 PC to 2.2, but I don't want to download all the
packages again since my connection is only 33k6. The 2.2 PC does have all the
correct packages, but I can't get them installed correctly. (dependancies)

Now I heard that there is a script on the loose which simulates an debian
archives server with packages on my own PC. So you can just update from
your own PC and not from InterNet. 

I was wondering if anyone else has ever done this, or knows the correct way
to do so. Manually installing all packages is not the correct way :]
