Hello all, Yes, I know it's foolish to go from Potato to Sid in a single bound, but hey.
I uninstalled pretty much everything from potato - and left just a skeleton system for the upgrade. Apt-get -f dist-upgrade and then waited. After downloading apt freaked out (I can't remember at which point), so I used dselect to see if that could sort it out. It wanted to download another 40MB, for a complete upgrade I guess. Fine, so I waited some more. Now it's done it is having difficulty with configuring debconf: Setting up debconf (1.1.14) ... no type given for question at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm line 15. dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: debconf E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) And obviously loads of important stuff ain't getting done. How do I get out of this one? Thanks Harvey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
