Here is what I want to do; I have a dual boot system with partitions: /stable and /unstable. I want to mount /unstable to directory /stable/unstable after doing so I issue command; 'chroot /unstable apt-get update' 'chroot /unstable apt-get upgrade'
What happens is that all of the proper files on /unstable are downloaded and cached in /unstable/var/cache/apt/archives...so far, so good. Then I get an error message saying E: Failure running script /usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10 I tried doing 'cd /unstable' then 'chroot . bin/bash' and issueing all of the previous commands from within the shell. I got the same errors. I tried removing apt-listchanges, but I can not. Postremoval scripts fail. I think there must be some way to do what I want, but I have not been able to find any reference to this. One listmember suggested using dpkg but I was unable to get that to work. It will unpack the downloaded files, but will not configure them. Thanks. John
