hello fellow linux users, Im having a problem with the installation of debian. This is my first install of debian, though I have installed/used slackware for a little while. I have gotten through everything with no problems untill I hit deselect. I believe I managed to get many of the packages installed by running the install about four or five times to get rid of some of the conflicts, but then I hit a wall. the error message reads as
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/0020' near line 1: newline in field name `#padding' checking the file I see it is made up of a bunch of #padding rerunning deselect I manage to obtain the files but after clearing the old packages I get the same error as well as error at /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/update line 142, <STDIN> chunk 1. dpkg --forget-old-unavail failed update avaliable list script returned error exit status 9. Press Retun to continue of course I press it and am stuck again. Any help concerning what I should do would be very apprichiated.
