dependency hell dist-upgrade the right way
Since, lately, I've had a coupla systems give he all kinds of hell. I'm curious if you guys have some hints to do a fresh install the right way? Including upgrading to unstable or testing. Both end up in kde dependency hell. Installing sarge choosing no packages, then dist-upgrading, then install kde doesn't work. Why? kde dependency hell. (Once you get past the udev bug and the locales bug) So, maybe my methodology is wrong. I run unstable on this box I'm on and don't remember having trouble doing so.. Works just fine as it always has in the past. I've never before had such problems upgrading as I have lately. Testing and unstable both seem to have some problems.. Anyone do a fresh install the last week or two that's worked for them? Hints? -- Highest Regards, Rodney Richison RCR Computing http://www.rcrnet.net 118 N.

Some have or had RC bugs, and they can't migrate now from unstable because the unstable packages have already been built for KDE 3.5. KDE itself in testing should however be OK. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
