Hi, I tried to do a dselect update on my potato box today. New Perl debs caused a lot of trouble.
After dselect saw the new Perl's it wanted to remove A LOT of (important) packages so I had to say no to the upgrade. Then I tried to freeze the Perl upgrade to be able to do the other avaialble upgrades, but no go. whatever I do dselect wants to do major changes to my system. Some Perl packages described as "fake" confuse me, and I have given up using dselect at all right now since whatever I try to do means all these packages will be removed and I am not able to freeze the old Perl with ='s in a way that leaves my installation intact. Should I wait until other packages "catch up" with the new Perl installation? If I have a lot of packages marked for removal right now. I guess I will have to go through it all and mark them installed again also? Help needed! :) TIA ----------------------------------- Regards, Christian Dysthe Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bigfoot.com/~cdysthe ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux ----------------------------------- "Clones are people two"
