I've got Debian 2.0 (Hamm) installed and want to jump up to Window Maker
0.20. Earlier this week I tried using dselect to just upgrade wmaker and
the packages it depended on, but dselect decided that I should upgrade
everything to what was in the unstable ftp directory. From listening in
on this group, it sounds like apt-get would be a better way to upgrade a
particular package and it's dependencies, without spending hours
downloading everything else. Can I simply download the following *.deb
files, install them from bottom up with dpkg --install, and then use
apt-get to upgrade just window maker and it's dependencies? Will this
break anything else (like my package database, or my ability to build
programs, etc.)?
Here's the packages that apt says it depends on:
apt_0_1_9.deb
lib6_2_0_7v-1.deb
ldso_1.9.9-5.deb
libstd++2_9_2_91_60-1.deb
Thanks much.
By the way, I got my HP 890C configured for black and white draft, normal
and best printing, so if anyone is interested, I can give them the
procedure. Seems like this is common enough (lots of people have deskjets
beyond a 550C) that it should go into the FAQ or something, especially now
that Ghostscript 5.10 is free).
