-- System Information Debian Release: 2.1 Kernel Version: Linux londo 2.0.35 #1 Tue Oct 13 14:00:58 BST 1998 i686 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU C Library: shared libraries ii libncurses4 4.2-3 Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libstdc++2.9 2.91.60-5 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) Details ------- Started with hamm system which has had some slink/potato stuff added. Upgrading to slink via apt-get, pointing to local mirror. Ran "apt-get -f dist-upgrade" dpkg seemed to hang at the following point (previous few lines of script output included for context): Replacing files in old package xbase ... Preparing to replace xbase 3.3.2.2-4 (using .../x11/xbase_3.3.2.3a-11.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xbase ... dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/var/lib/xdm': Directory not empty dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/etc/X11/xsm': Directory not empty dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/etc/X11/rstart': Directory not empty dpkg: warning - unable to delete old file `/etc/X11/xserver': Directory not empty Selecting previously deselected package xserver-common. It remained at this point for about 10 mins, so I killed the dpkg process. After that I had to run "dpkg --configure -a" to tidy up after the kill, then re-run "apt-get -f dist-upgrade", which proceeded to completion with no further problems.
