Sorry I'm late this week, please note 19. is new, so here's the current problems list:
1. Already reported as a bug: Can't find xlib6 so file. Add /usr/X11R6/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig. 2. Dselect fails to satisfy pre-depends for perl (libdl1) Installing ldso by hand solves the problem. 3. Bug#5659: dpkg-gencontrol fails in chown new files listfile. Possible patch. Only a problem for package builders. 4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem. 5. Cron dies. (actually never starts) Run "update-rc.d cron defaults" 6. Gcc depends on cpp, but cpp conflicts with gcc. Retag gcc and re-run deselect. 7. Modconf messes up screen display on some lines. Possible dialog problem? 8. /bin/perl disapears and reappears during installation. Replace link by hand: ln -s /usr/bin/perl /bin/perl Or, install perl by hand: dpkg -i perl_xxx.deb. 9. Bug#5479 dpkg fails to preserve set id bits when copying files. No fix reported (possible patch) 10. gpm preinstall can't remove old gpm Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. 11. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs Remove by hand using dpkg --purge. 12. libg++ and libg++-dev conflict. Re-running the installation fixes it. 13. dependent packages bomb because libc5 is not installed first Upgrade base first. 14. no /dev/sr0 from MAKEDEV New version fixes this. 15. Gimp fails because there is no .gimprc file Create an empty .gimprc 16. Base-files should Provide: base Was: Smartlist and possibly other programs as well, depend on base. Fixed in the next version. 17. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base. Install by hand using --force-depends 18. Mc fails to declare it's dependence on libgpm. Should declare dpendence on libgpm. Install the libgpm package. 19. Man fails because groff can't find libstdc++.so.27. cd /usr/lib ln -s libstdc++.so.27.2.1 libstdc++.so.27 Luck, Dwarf ------------ -------------- aka Dale Scheetz Phone: 1 (904) 656-9769 Flexible Software 11000 McCrackin Road e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tallahassee, FL 32308 ------------ If you don't see what you want, just ask -------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
