Hello, now having managed the Hamm->Slink upgrade successfull and working with apt I got 2 questions:
1) What are these "kept" packages? Well the following pcmcia-modules package was set to hold but during the upgrade there were a few others in "Kept" state. How can a tell apt to upgrade these? Valhalla:/etc:2# apt-get upgrade Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok The following packages have been kept back pcmcia-modules-2.0.34 doc-linux-text 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. 2) Installing gnome a "dpkg -l '*gnome*'" gives me a "No packages found" message but installing them works. Is the available-file broken? Valhalla:/etc:2# apt-get install gnome-control-center [...] Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok The following extra packages will be installed: libzvt0 libcapplet0 The following NEW packages will be installed: libzvt0 gnome-control-center libcapplet0 gnome-terminal gnome-session 0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 175k of archives. After unpacking 424k will be used. Do you want to continue?
