Having installed Debian successfully on a school computer, I decided to use apt-get to upgrade the system. Ran an update, then dist-upgrade (after initial use of -s). All went smoothly until the unpacking/setting up of package "strace" where an "E: error returned by subprocess" message appeared. Things stopped.
I knew that not all packages had been installed. Ran "apt-get check" and was told to run "dpkg --configure -a" which I did. A number of packages were then set up. I retried "apt-get dist-upgrade" after first using -s (confirming that fewer packages would be installed). All pretty much proceded normally. Only issue noted was ldconfig warning me that certain libs (libomniORB, and others) were not symlinks. Does anyone know if I am reasonably safe? What can I do to check things? Kenward Vaughan ps. apt is wonderful! -- ----------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] C:\WINDOWS C:\WINDOWS\GO C:\PC\CRAWL -----------------------------------------------------------
