I've been testing the upgrade path from bo to hamm on a spare system (in preparation to upgrading my main system). As I don't have a permanent connection (dialup only), I'm only downloading what I need. It's amazing what interconnected dependencies there are! :-)
Anyway, basically it all went OK except when xaw3dg is configured: here the following message is given: ---snip-snip---------------------------------------------------------- Setting up xaw3dg (1.3-6.1) ... Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/xaw-wrappers/ /usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00402 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/Getopt/Long.pm line 523. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/Getopt/Long.pm line 523. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/sbin/update-xaw-wrappers line 57. dpkg: error processing xaw3dg (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 ---snip-snip---------------------------------------------------------- Investigation shows that strict.pm used to be part of the `perl' package, but now has disappeared. However, Getopt/Long.pm still references it... Another thing: I first had perl_5.004.02-1 installed. Replacing this with perl-base_5.004.04-3 and perl_5.004.04-3 left me with a /usr/bin/perl which was still the old version, and a /usr/bin/perl5.00404 which is the new one. Why do I still have the old binary? Paul Slootman -- Can you get your operating system fixed when you need it?
