It was usualy one or two that were holding the whole thing up, something like ncurses or libreadline or one of those. Installing them took care of most of the problem. As your system gets more complete, you should not encounter that problem. Jim -- Debian Linux! Where I REALLY went today!

Re: broken installation
This comes up frequently but is being fixed by the new diety. You have to recycle through the install phase until it's all installed. Each time it will install more because the dependencies are satisfied. The current dselect doesn't use dependant order. On Tue, 29 Apr 1997, David S.

broken installation
Hi, I just installed a system using dselect and got about 40 packages that were broken; they installed but are unconfigured. Mostly they have dependencies that were covered in multiple deb packages. Libraries of other files of the same name were redundant in several packages. What do you do in a case like this? I 'forced' downloading them and figured I could work out the details later, even if I had to configure by hand. Is this customary for ftp installs? __ _ David S.
