Hi all: I got my cable modem installed today, and now I'm trying to get it running under Linux. The Cable-Modem Howto directed me to the DHCP Howto, and it instructed me to install the dhcpcd client. I downloaded dhcpcd_0.70-5.deb and when I installed it I got the followinf error message from dpkg:
(Reading database ... 49927 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace dhcpcd 1:0.70-5 (using dhcpcd_0.70-5.deb) ... Stopping DHCP client daemon: dhcpcd. Unpacking replacement dhcpcd ... Setting up dhcpcd (0.70-5) ... dpkg: error processing dhcpcd (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: dhcpcd The line indicating that it is stopping the DHCP client suggests that I already had it installed(?). dpkg says that it's half-configured now. I tried getting it off a couple of the alternate sites with the same results. Anybody know what I need to do? Am I on the right track to begin with?
