Hi everybody, i have two problems. Both are coming with apt-get dist-upgrade. I only want to update the system from woody to sarge. All packages, without debarchiver and etherconf, are installed correctly.
The problems: debarchiver: the install progress stops after “Setting up debarchiver (0.1.1) ...”. After about a half hour with seeing that the system do nothing I pressed ctrl + c to stop installing this package. Etherconf comes after debarchiver and shows me the following problem: Setting up etherconf (1.17) ... hostname: name too long Missing end line at blib/lib/ConfHelper.pm (autosplit into blib/lib/auto/ConfHelper/getotherareas.al) line 222, <GEN0> line 11. dpkg: error processing etherconf (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 The whole process: apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists...
