Hi, I am a systems administrator at the University of New Mexico. I am trying to upgrade approximately 80 Debian Linux boxxen from 2.1 to 2.2. We are currently running slink and we want to move to potato. Here is basically what I am doing:
changing /etc/apt/sources.list to use potato apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade I then have two expect scripts to take care of the rest. The problem is, during the upgrade (all questions handled by my expect scripts) I get this termcap or printcap error and then the cpu on the machine I am trying to upgrade freaks out. I do not have this problem if I do not use expect and manually answer all questions. The question is, should I try to "sleep" for a minute or more before running my second expect script (it finishes the upgrade with a dpkg --configure --pending)? Any help would be appreciated...thanks.
