Problems after update from debian 1.1.3 to 1.2.8
Hi! I installed debian linux a while ago from a cd, which contained the files from the release 1.1.3. This one worked great and I just had to add a kernel-parameter to be able to use my zip-drive. Last week I wanted to update my system to 1.2.8. I looked into /var/lib/dpkg/status to find out which packages I had installed (isn't there a easier method for this) and downloaded the updates. After installing all the packages "by hand" (dpkg -i -R ) it appeared, that no Xresource seemed to have any influence. All my settings in eg. the ~/.Xresource file were ignored. I checked xrdb, which failed with an error message, that it couldn't launch cpp. I have gcc installed and tried also the cpp package by itself. No success. Second thing is that i can't access the audio device (which worked under 1.1.3) anymore. xmix just says that it can't find the mixer device. Ok, this is no good bug-report, just a description of symtoms. But maybe somebody already knows where the problem is. Otherwise I will post more (detailed) information. Alex.
