Re: SUCCESS: xterm not found in slink
Hi Peter and all the other debianeers... I figured out my problem with the X-installation: apt had stable instead of slink in its config file - I only updated part of the packages (which delsect-ftp for slink) and dselect apt grabbed the stable-package-files again :( Seems to work now (at least I can see the xterm, etc. -packages now). I just wonder why apt segfaults when used in command-line (dselect-apt works fine).

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?

xterm not found in slink
Just upgraded to slink. It seems that a package containing xterm, xdm, etc. is missing (and therefore X11 is not working...). Is there a special place for slink-bug-reports? Thanx for your help.

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.
