Hi Craig, Two problems with autoup to hamm from buzz. Mostly it works well.
Firstly, buzz (1.1.11) has dpkg 1.2.14, which doesn't have --get-selections. Short of writing a script to do the same thing in perl, the best solution seems to be to just upgrade dpkg beforehand to 1.4.0.8 from bo, which also requires upgrading to libc5 5.4.33-6 (since dpkg 1.4.0.8 predepends on libc5 >= 5.4.0.0, and we can't just install 1.4.0.20 straight because it's libc6). After that everything goes pretty well. Except that perl's postinst tries to clean up the mess in /usr/lib/perl5/i486-linux but fails, so the postinst fails and therefore the configuration of a whole lot of other packages fails too. I will file a bug report. Is there a nice way to handle the dpkg upgrade problem? It seems to be best NOT to leave the old libc5 & dpkgs in the current directory though because the script will try to install them again and this causes problems with libc5 at least.
