Hello, I am new in Linux, I installed debian woody 3.0r2, and with a
lot of difficulty I managed to make work my connection ADSL, then I
wanted to pass to SID because I use my pc as workstation (a compaq evo
n1020v) and the graphic packages of the woody is very old, so I edited
the file /etc/apt/sources.list to change the woody by sid (I left the
security line) then I have make:
apt-get update
it connects, and it begins downloading... after it stops with an error
like : */E: Error while processing packages xxxx/*
I do not know what to do, please help me, and sorry for my English is
too bad :)
