Hi, I used the auto-upgrade script to upgrade to hamm, then used dselect | ftp to upgrade a couple hundred packages in /hamm/hamm, then after I was through I rebooted and life was good. Good work, Debian Team. :-)
Then I restarted dselect and decided to upgrade /hamm/non-free and /hamm/contrib, but now dselect can't find the Packages files. Further, reverting to /hamm/hamm, dselect can't find the Packages files. I know it's right there, because I'm looking at it in a ftp client. I've even changed mirrors. I've got dpkg 1.4.20, dpkg-dev 1.4.20, dpkg-ftp 1.4.9, which I've verified are the latest. The error message looks like this: -------------------------------------- Connecting to ftp.debian.org... Login as anonymous... Setting transfer mode to binary... Cd to /debian... Getting Packages file from /hamm/non-free/binary-i386... Could not find Packages[.gz] in /hamm/non-free/binary-i386, stoppedFTP ERROR update available list script returned error exit status 1. Press RETURN to continue. --------------------------------------- I even downloaded the Packages file and ran dpkg -A Packages, and the new list was displayed in dselect, but when I selected [I]nstall, dselect said: "Couldn't find packages file for _hamm_non-free distribution (re-run Update)". How can I get dselect to see the Packages files again? -- D a v i d S t e r n ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
