I have had 1.1 for awhile and have just tried to begin an upgrade to 1.3. I found a readme on ftp.debian.org which said:
do dpkg --clear-avail, dpkg --install ldso_*.deb, dpkg --install libc5_*.deb, install dpkg_*.deb dpkg-ftp_*.deb, dpkg --purge --force-depends texbin, and then to run dselect to upgrade the rest. I got the files referred to, and the above steps worked until the install of dpkg-ftp. It gave the message dpkg:dependency problems prevent configuration of dpkg-ftp: dpkg-ftp depends on libnet; however Package libnet is not installed. dpkg: error processing dpkg-ftp (--install) dependency problems-leaving unconfigured. Since the instructions said several passes were needed I just went on. But when I ran dselect, chose ftp, but dselect said BEGIN failed, compilation aborted, at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/FTP.pm line 378 and compilation aborted at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/setup line 7. I then got libnet and tried to install it, but dpkg left it unconfigured. It said I had the wrong version of perl. I have not yet purged texbin. I'd welcome any help. Thanks.
