Hello!
I have tried upgrading from the current Debian stable distribution to the frozen distribution. I managed to screw up my Linux system by this... The only things I updated was everything in the base, admin and devel sections. Now I can't even login - i.e. I can type a user name, but I'm not asked for a password before it tells me: "invalid login". X-Windows (xdm) which is set to start on boot does not work either. Info: When booting, the X stuff complains about something under /usr/lib/perl5. I think it's perl-base_5.004.05-1.1.deb which is installed. I also had problems when installing this with dpkg - it complained that it needed perl5-base to install perl-base-5 or something like that??? Also other packages complained that they needed package perl5 Does anybody have any ideas about how to solve these problems? Also, I need to fix the system without being able to login to it... I've got a bootable CD with a stable distribution. So I've got shell access with the root system under /target... Cheers -- http://www.HardcoreProcessing.com
