Fatal mistake no1: Searched for Debian Port of Quake2 Fatal mistake no2: FOUND Debian Port of Quake2 Fatal mistake no3: Got libc6 and xlib6 as needed Fatal mistake no4: Tried to install using dpkg, which told me it conflicted Fatal mistake no5: Used dselect
Then the conflict screen came up, and I played about with it a bit, and then decided to abort and uninstall libc6 and xlib6. So I *'ed all the ones it told me to purge on the conflict screen, and put a nice little minus sign next to libc6, xlib6 and quake2. Fatal mistake no6: selected 'remove' in dselect and lo and behold, dselect removed most of my packages, and x went black. On a reboot, the screen flickered and turned on and off repeatedly until I press ctrl+alt+del. I can't even log on before this happens. So, this is my first time screwing up Debian 1.3.1. This is a habit of mine I acquired while running WinNT4. How do I get libc6 and libc5 to like each other next time? (+ xlib6g and xlib6) How do I reset dselect so that I don't have to put a '*' on every package I already have so I don't do this again??
