Hi, i first installed Debian 1.1 (how was it called btw ?) and then upgraded some packages from rex, bo and hamm. I did not upgrade the whole system with deselect as i had neither a CD reader nor a network connection. So i could only use floppy disks to get and install some packages with dpkg. Among the packages i upgraded were base 1.2 and base 1.3. Now i have upgraded with dselect from a 1.3.1 CD and everything is going well except for two minor details:
- dselect reports the package base 1.1.0-13 as obsolete but will not purge it (neither will dpkg --purge) because it is an essential package. It does not stop me from working but it would be cleaner if i could remove it. Removing its entry from the status file would it be safe ? - dselect did not downgrade the packages i had installed from hamm except for dosemu. I had dosemu_0.66.6-1 and now i have dosemu_0.66.3-1 (the version in bo). -- Laurent. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
