Sorry to bother, but I'm a fairly new user and have dug myself into a hole and my searches of the Debian lists haven't turned up what I'm needing.
Recently did an install of Woody on a Pismo, things have been fine. Added the Debian testing distributions to my sources.list. Got a zillion things to upgrade, which I started in on. deselect warned me about quitting xdm when it started to install glibc (I think that was the name). I quit and tried to stop xdm. Eventually figured that out. Re-ran dselect to return to the install process, but it stopped again on the xfs install, which (if I remember) said it was broken. I accepted the choice to continue. dselect eventually gave up, saying that dpkg-preconfigure didn't exist, which was true. I now have dselect telling me that I've got 37 packages to upgrade, but nothing happens. The upgrade clearly isn't complete, as I can type "man dpkg-preconfigure" and it can't find man. So: What's the easiest way to get out of my trouble? Can I get back to a stable distro or throw out a package database and start over? Any info greatly appreciated, and thanks to all that have made LinucPPC so great!
