Folks,
I?ve tried to install Debian 2.1 (like 50 times...). Everything is ok, until the dselect step. During the installation (after the first Linux boot) you?re given to choose the installation method: from profiles or pure dselect. I?ve chosed the profiles option (it seems like is easy...), so I provided the Access method, then I ran Update with the following results: Uncompressing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ... done Replacing available packages information, using packages-main Information about 1152 packages was updated Uncompressing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz ... done Updating available packages information, using packages-ctb Information about 97 packages was updated Update OK It seems like everything is ok... right? Now, I skip the Select step (recommended during installation) and run the Install option with the following poor results: Looking for part 1 of dpkg-perl .../var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/sl ink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-perl_0.1-2hamm1.deb Running dpkg -iB for dpkg-perl ... dpkg-deb: unexpected end of file in version number in /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb dpkg: error processing /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb (--install) Subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Error were encountered while processing: /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt/l1/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/devel/dpkg-per l_0.1-2hamm1.deb installation script returned error exit status 1 Press RETURN to continue. ... and then... nothing happens... Is this enough information for you to help me? Thanks in advance.
