Receiving error messages such as the following: Linux# dpkg --configure fvwm2 dpkg: error processing fvwm2 (--configure): package fvwm2 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `installed') Errors were encountered while processing: fvwm2 Linux#
are pretty much useless. This sort of error message reminds me of Red Hat's RPM! What causes this sort of information free error message? Does dpkg honor the 'hold' status in the status file when it is placed there by dselect (that is when dpkg is run manually from the command line)? best, -bill ____________________________________________________________________ Get free e-mail and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
