hello everyone! i set up a debian mirror and want to install potato using the nfs exported files from my mirror.
but when selecting install within dselect there are several problems: 1.) the first time dselect aborts when installing libc6. it complains about apt which is already installed but with a too low version number. i could fix this with removing apt before invoking dselect. maybe the problem is that potato uses the same file for the base system as slink, base2_1.tgz. probably the packages from potato need newer base packages than are contained in base2_1.tgz. 2.) the second time dselect aborts when installing libpam0g because libpam-runtime isn't installed yet. but the deb file for libpam-runtime is available. i fixed this by installing libpam-runtime by hand berfore starting dselect. i gave up at the third error. i'm nut sure, if this is a problem with my mirror or with the unstable potato release. did you have the same or similar problems? are these bugs in the potato release? can someone send me a control file for his debian mirror? i tried a test installation of slink from my mirrored files an it worked without problems. to me it looks like the potato installation doesn't work right now. any hints? thank you! bye. -r -- @ Rainer Hubovsky @ [EMAIL PROTECTED] @ Ferdinandstr. 29/15, A-1020 Vienna @ Tel/Fax: +43 1 214 24 48
