Hey guys -- I just did the apt-get stuff to upgrade to potato, but the silly thing died several times. After restarting it often enough, I got to the point where netbase was causing eight other packages to not install -- netbase kept returning "hostname: host not found" or something very similar.
The solution to this problem ( after much banging of head..) was to add my hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts -- does netbase require knowing that much about /etc/hosts ? am I missing the point? And, a more applicable-to-the-future question -- how can I view the postrm and prerm and postinst and preinst scripts of a deb? :) Thanks :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
