I'm trying to finish migrating from Slink to Potato. It's been mostly successful, but after a 50mb download I am now getting odd errors from apt.
Here's what's been done so far: 1) Installed Slink from bootable CD-ROM up to the first reboot. 2) After the reboot, said "no" to choosing a group of packages, and quit out of dselect 3) Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to point to frozen instead of stable 4) ran apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade (~12mb download) The above all went flawlessly. Then (since there's nothing except the base system installed) I ran dselect, and tried to install gcc (which includes about 48mb worth of dependency stuff, so ~50mb total). Download completed successfully. Now I'm getting an error about perl-base needing to be removed temporarily to prevent a dependency check loop. It says I can override by enabling APT::BreakLoop (or something like that, I don't have the exact text in front of me). Immediately following that is an error saying it can't early remove perl-base, and after hitting Enter I get dumped back into dselect. Anyone have a clue what's going on and what I can do to get these packages installed? :) Thanks for the help. Nathan [EMAIL PROTECTED]
