Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc
yHi Russell I removed all zope files and updated the status file. Then I was able to install zope. Am now running apt-get dselect-upgrade, to see if I can get my xwindows to install and run.

Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc
Hi Russell, From your email, should I assume that Zope requires a version of Python between 2.1-3 and 2.2? A listing of /usr/lib shows python1.5, python2.0, python2.1, python2.2, and python2.3. Must I downgrade and force the system to install python2.1 for the Zope scripts to work? On Mon, 8 Sep 2003, Russell Shaw wrote: Russ Cook wrote: Hi Russell, Thanks for the continued help.

During the upgrade attempt, use apt-get dselect-upgrade, Zope failed to upgrade, due to pre remove script failure. Zope is currently installed at 2.3.3-1 level, trying to upgrade to 2.6.1-10. It is trying to run python-base, which apparently is no longer available, and not on my system. I did reinstall python1.5_1.5.2-27_i386.deb and python1.5-dev_1.5.2-27_i386.deb, from ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python1.5. Additional problems are that startx no longer exists on my system, and I can't run X.
