Hi.
My laptop hanged, and I shut it down. Afterwards it cannot boot.
After loading linux, it stops saying roughly

For me it was even worse. I half-installed libc6 in the old version, then
opened dselect, and tried to remove libdb2 (something probably extremely
silly). Now libc is broken, along with dpkg rm, mv, ls, and probably
another lot of basic stuff. What is wrong for dpkg to work, is that it

The same happens to me. Changing the entries in /etc/apt/sources.list does
leaves dselect (or apt-get) happy with the woody distribution.
Any other ideas?

Hi.
I would like to know how to downgrade the whole distribution from woody to
potato. I am entering a period in which I will have to use the computer
constantly and I don't want to have any problems with the new upgrades. So I
would like to stick to the stable distribution. Is there any p
I'm running woody (kernel 2.2.17) on a laptop with a Neomagic graphic
card. Since the upgrade to X4 almost one month ago I am having the
following problem, which has not disappeared with the last upgrades.
When I use X4 some fonts are not properly displayed (e.g. some of the
fonts in netscape, a

upgrade and got the new XFree 4. Since then quite a few things have been
getting worse and worse. The worst is that since 2 days starting X makes the

Call stupid me too, as I have the same kind of problem, but also a quite worse

I am running woody on a laptop since one year. After the last upgrade
(i.e. last night) the xserver does not work. It complains that none of the
configured devices can be detected. I tried to reconfigure using
XF86Setup, and found that my card (NeoMagic NM256 et cetera) is not in the
list any more
The same happens to me since a few days. Before everything was ok, and my
custom version was considered as newer by dselect.
I put it on hold, and this works fine, but I don't understand what's the
reason. What is the "epoch"?
Thanks

May be you should try with
apt-get -s dselect-upgrade.
This should list both the new packages to be installed from scratch and the
ones that need to be upgraded (together with the promise of configuring all of
them).

Hi
I have the same problem, and yesterday wrote about this, but nobody
answered. I am using the mirror ftp.ca.debia.org, but it is not a problem
of the ftp site, I think.

I don't understand if the following is my fault or is due to something
wrong in dselect. I have just upgraded from potato to woody, and dselect
insists that gedit has unmet dependencies, regarding gdk-imlib1, which is

There are some addresses I cannot ping, while I can access them with
Netscape, ftp or finger (depending on the type). I can't figure out what
is difference between these addresses and the ones which I can ping
