X in hamm problem solved

1998-01-24 Thread Sebastian Kuzminsky

Yesterday i upgraded from bo to hamm. That went pretty well, but X broke. I ran out of disk space during the X upgrade, and i thought maybe that was the problem. I removed all the X packages and reinstalled on a roomier disk, hoping that would fix things. It didnt, X still doesnt work.

I'm not sure this is the right place to send this bug report... There's an inconsistency in Debian 1.1. When the aout-svgalib package is installed, it puts the libary files in /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib, but ld.so is not configured to look there for libraries, so the aout svgalibs are unusable
