Hi, I'm upgrading 1.2.x to Frozen. Here's a log of some trouble I had, in case anyone's interested:
* I had to rename 'unstable' to 'frozen' in the packages list for any of the files to be found. * The group permissions on /usr/lib/X11/fvwm2 are '6000' (not in /etc/group). * fvwm2 blew away my /etc/X11/fvwm2 configuration files with empty ones, without asking or warning me. * Emacs complains "Cannot open load file: tex-site", and doesn't read the file I specify on the command-line. Why is a configuration file full of TeX-specific stuff part of emacs, rather than TeX? (I removed all of TeX and the problem remained; commenting out the line "(require 'tex-site)" in /etc/emacs/site-start.el at least allows emacs to start normally. * The info files documenting emacs are mostly missing. * Bash now requires a ';' before the closing '}' in a 'function' definition; I saw no documentation for this, or any other changes from the old bash to the new one. Is there a general, "Note the following changes to fundamental tools" file somewhere? * tetex installation wouldn't proceed until I removed a bunch of old tex packages manually. After doing so, it came up with another one that had to be removed manually (that wasn't in the first list). This package was dvipsk. The instructions said that I could have used dselect's REMOVE to do it, but that didn't work. * I'll find out later if dvips is included in one of the tetex packages, but if it is it isn't apparent; dvipsk wants to load in the old tex stuff. [dvips did get loaded with the new stuff.] * Some files weren't able to be found on ftp.debian.org: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv getting: non-free/binary/xv_3.10a-11.deb (1096742) non-free/binary/xv_3.10a-11.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-doc_0.4pl6-1.deb (4923348) getting: frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-extra_0.4pl6-3.deb (3161912) getting: frozen/binary-i386/x11/afterstep_0.99pre4-1.deb (475210) frozen/binary-i386/x11/afterstep_0.99pre4-1.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/interpreters/cpp_2.7.2.1-7.deb (83802) frozen/binary-i386/interpreters/cpp_2.7.2.1-7.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/libs/tk42_4.2p2-2.deb (525404) frozen/binary-i386/libs/tk42_4.2p2-2.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/admin/alien_3.1.deb (20506) frozen/binary-i386/admin/alien_3.1.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/devel/binutils_2.7.0.9-2.deb (857538) frozen/binary-i386/devel/binutils_2.7.0.9-2.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/base/base-passwd_1.3.0.deb (3102) frozen/binary-i386/base/base-passwd_1.3.0.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/doc/manpages_1.15-2.deb (713640) frozen/binary-i386/doc/manpages_1.15-2.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/devel/gcc_2.7.2.1-7.deb (2368526) frozen/binary-i386/devel/gcc_2.7.2.1-7.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-base_0.4pl6-4.deb (1543110) getting: frozen/binary-i386/shells/tcsh_6.06-13.deb (199720) frozen/binary-i386/shells/tcsh_6.06-13.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/base/shellutils_1.16-1.deb (317814) frozen/binary-i386/base/shellutils_1.16-1.deb: No such file OR directory. getting: frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-bin_0.4pl6-7.deb (1475988) Processing downloaded files...(for corrupt/old/partial) frozen/binary-i386/base/modutils_2.1.23-2.deb frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-doc_0.4pl6-1.deb frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-extra_0.4pl6-3.deb frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-base_0.4pl6-4.deb frozen/binary-i386/tex/tetex-bin_0.4pl6-7.deb Do you want to install the files fetched [y]: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- Pete Harlan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
