[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/eclipse/stflib$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg xserver-xorg: Installed: 1:7.1.0-5 Candidate: 1:7.1.0-5 Version table: *** 1:7.1.0-5 0 500 ftp://debian.uchicago.edu sid/main Packages 500 ftp://debian.mirrors.pair.com sid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I'm using "aptitude upgrade", but "aptitude install xserver-xorg" gives the same result. It downloads fine, but then goes to: Setting up xserver-xorg (7.1.0-5) And just sits there for literally hours (Athlon 2100+, I've left it over night and it still never finishes). If I Ctrl+C, I get: dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up xserver-xorg (7.1.0-5) ... And it seems to try again, and freeze again. Ctrl+C-ing again gives: dpkg: error processing xserver-xorg (--configure): subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Interrupt) Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg And then it terminates. aptitude is never even in the top ten processes according to top. -- Larry Garfield AIM: LOLG42 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 6817012 "If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas Jefferson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
