I am trying to upgrade my X on a mainly hamm system. I tried to install xbase. It complains that it needs ncurses-base (>= 1.9.9g-8.6). So off I download ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.8.deb and tried to install it. The installaltion fails because:
dpkg: error processing ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.8.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.8.deb What gives??? /------------------------------------------------------------------------------/ Daniel J.
