So I then tried apt-get dist-upgrade, which reading the man page for apt-get states: dist-upgrade dist-upgrade, in addition to performing the func� tion of upgrade, also intelligently handles chang� ing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. Now this is what is said by my Debian system when I run the apt-get dist-upgrade command: maxus:/home/maxus# apt-get dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

Need to get 45.6MB/51.5MB of archives. After unpacking 40.6MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] I answered yes to this, and it asked me to provide cdrom disk 1, and at this point I got nervous. Why? Note that where it says the following packages will be REMOVED it says kdelibs3. Is that not for kde 3? Or is that also present for kde 2.2. Looking at the package lists on the Debian site, it does have a kdelibs3 for stable, so i'm wondering if all is ok, and I can provide the said cdrom and let it read it and do its work. After my previous troubles i'm just very nervous and hesitant and untrusting of it all.

Anyways...after updating sources.list I run: apt-get update And it errors out, with this following error message: maxus:/etc/apt# apt-get update E: Malformed line 15 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (Absolute dist) What have I done wrong? It looks fine to my eye (and reading a previous post from (I think it was) Thomas indicates that it just needs to be main. Dave PS I also tried: deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ main and that didn't work either. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Schoepf To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; David Pastern Cc: debian-kde@lists.debian.org Sent: 27/09/2002 5:38 Subject: Re: 178 days and counting On Fri, Sep 27, 2002 at 01:36:16PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > deb http://people.debian.org/~schoepf/kde3/woody ./ > It appears to be what I want. That looks like what I did, though, and there > were still libraries that were required and only available from woody/unstable Use the deb source written above. The packages there will work with woody (=stable) without requiring any libs from testing or unstable. Bye Thomas -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
