It had stable instead of slink in it... but apt-get segfaults: mother# cat sources.list # begin of file /etc/apt/sources.list # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URLs deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free # end of file mother# apt-get update Get http://http.us.debian.org slink/contrib Packages Get http://http.us.debian.org slink/main Packages Get http://http.us.debian.org slink/non-free Packages Fetched 582k in 15s (36.8k/s) Updating package file cache...done Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok Segmentation fault Hmm. Damn. Anyone with the same problems? Ill try dselect-apt if it also segfaults and have a look for new apt-packages...

I dont' know, but if You are use the german mirror it could be happened try: entry in your /etc/apt/sources.list # begin of file /etc/apt/sources/list # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian slink main contrib non-free #end of file and than if You like to upgrade Your whole distribution: apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade if Your not sure, or like to see what happened if You do this type before the above line, first apt-get -s update; apt-get -s dist-upgrade which give Your a overlook what would happen if You really start the apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade note: if You like this: you have to install xterm and xmodmap and also Your xfont-upgrades via apt-get update xterm; apt-get install xterm apt-get update xmodmap; apt-get install xmodmap etc, You also can install only packages via install like the above lines, apt-get will handle the dependencies itself, no matter and You don't need to handle dependencies Yourself cYa -- Peter

To be more specific: I dont have any xterm- or xdm-packages to install... That's what I did: - upgrade to slink via dselect - apt-dselect and upgrade the Packages files (standard-settings for apt) There are many "obsolete" packages (like xbase-client and others - when I try to de-install them, I get dependency-errors...) but no xdm or xterm-package. :( Is it a problem of my debian-mirror?

Re: xterm not found in slink
Gery, I had the same problem. I used apt-get to install xdm and everything worked fine after that. Gery Wrote: >> Just upgraded to slink.
