I'm fairly new at this, having come to Debian in the last month or so
after using LinuxPPC 1999 very intermittently for a while now. (I would
still consider myself a relative newbie!) I've been attempting to
upgrade to Woody over a fresh installation of Potato r3 on my 7600/200.
(I'm keen to try using the newer version of Bluefish for some amateur
WML development.)
I've managed to download all of the .deb files by using apt-get
dist-upgrade (after using apt-get update, naturally). Problem comes
just after the packages are scanned, when I get the following error
messages (transcribed):
100% [Scanning packages] Template parse error near "" at
/usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debconf/Template.pm line 60, <Template> chunk 3
E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code
(29)
E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt
Does anyone know what this means, and how I might fix it?
thanks
Alan
