Well, the thought involved in writing the upgrade report was helpful. It forced me to sit and think while waiting for a reply. Even without a reply, that helped.
I did some more hacking. Of course I should have tried apt-get -f install. That indeed fixed most of the problems. But didn't get the dhcp server to work. Now the dhcp I was running turned out to date back to etch. Just possibly it was too out-of-date to work any more. But installing the current isc-dhcp-server doesn't work either. running /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server start gives me a FAILED message with a request to look up details in syslog. But /etc/var/syslog hasn't been updated for two days. What's wrong here? Should I be looking elsewhere for the log messages from the dhcp server? -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
