debs,
in terms of upgrading to potato from slink, i just need
to finish unpacking 282k of archives. but i get the
following error message(s).
error: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc.xfree86-common-old
already exists! aborting installation of
xfree86-common package.
please clean up your crufty filesystem.
dpkg: error processing

error exit status 1

3.3.6-6_all.deb
e: sub-process returned an error code (1)
host:~#
i ran "cruft," and then "apt-get upgrade." the same
error message comes back.
1. do i need to delete ~/doc.xfree86-common-old?
2. how do i "un-cruft"?
3. should i worry about the error for
~/xfree86-common_3.3.6-6_all.deb?
ia, t.
