I'm using the InfoMagic CDrom set (Dec 96) to upgrade. Here are some notes:
1) I installed dpkg*.deb and ldso*.deb by hand (per messages from this list)
2) Xlib6 and xlib have conflicts which cause problems in dselect. I remember a
fix for this, but I can't find the message(s). Would someone please repost the
fix for xlib dependencies.
3) several packages have 2 versions and "dselect" happily installs both
versions without trying to distinguish between them. And because of the
directory order (checked with 'ls -U'), the older version gets installed
last 8-( & the newer version is purged. These offenders are:
admin/
pcmcia-modules*.deb
base/
base-files*.deb
kernel-image*.deb
doc/
man_*.deb
mail/
smartlist*.deb
net/
ppp*.deb
x11/
xbase*.deb
xlib6_3*.deb
If you need any of these packages, I'd recommend installing these packages
by hand.
4) /etc/group somehow managed to get buggered up. A quick edit fixed it.
5) mail/smartlist*.deb depends on base >= 1.2.0-3 My system is being upgraded
and base = 1.1.0-14 ! So, where is the upgrade package for "base"? I haven't
been able to find it on the CDROM 8-(
