Hi, Just installed sarge on a P4 box, then ran synaptic and upgraded to etch during which I got this:
* Configuring debconf * unpacking replacement locales * preparing to replace 2.3.2.dsl-22 (using libc6_2.3.5-i386.deb) * [snip] * Name Service Switch update in C Library... * [snip] * gdm must be stopped before glibc upgrade * [snip] * Continue Y/n: So at that point I quit the process. This was my second pass at doing an install on this machine. The first time when I got to this point, I continued with the process and wound up with a "locale" problem and a warning that "udev requires kernel >= 2.6.12 upgrade aborted." Gnome was hosed while KDE continued to work. But, after this second install now I have a working desktop system with both Gnome and KDE. I'm a relative noob. Had etch with the 2.4 kernel working on a P2 machine which literally caught on fire (black, smelly smoke kind of fire). On the new one I installed the 2.6.8 kernel. I'd like to move to etch (testing) and am wondering what to do after running into the above problem. Do I boot to a command prompt and run aptitude as a work around? Or ...?
