Yeah, I'm using Potato. Is it a good idea to upgrade to Woody even if this is for a business?
I tried apt-get -f install It dosent find anything to install I then tried apt-get -f install perl , Yeilds: CLOUD:/tmp/apt-get -f install perl Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: base-config debconf dpkg-ftp dpkg-perl libnet-perl lynx perl-5.005 perl-5.005-base pptpd task-newbie-help tetex-base The following NEW packages will be installed: perl 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 11 to remove and 5 not upgraded. Need to get 904B of archives. After unpacking 39.8MB will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n Abort. CLOUD:/usr/lib/cgi-bin/Calcium3.6# ----------- Now, that seems scary to me to have to remove all those packages just to get Perl installed. I'm sure if I say yes, it will give a lot more error messages. Thanks for your help by the way. -dave -----Original Message----- From: timothy bauscher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 12:50 PM To: Dave Scott Subject: RE: Best Email Web Application > I installed PHP4 though, but it still tells me I need perl here is the > error message. > > Apt-get install squirrelmail > > Yeilds: > > CLOUD:/usr/lib/cgi-bin# apt-get install squirrelmail > Reading Package Lists...
