I was trying to install LyX, with dpkg -i lyx*.deb, but was told that libforms0.89 was not installed.
So after that I kept making errors, downloading libforms-bin and installing that by mistake, downloading libforms and Lyx for the wrong Architecture (Mk68 and Sparc) by mistake. I finally got the correct deb files on my local machine and tried (as root) # dpkg -i libforms0.89_0.89-9.deb and got the following error message Selecting previously deselected package libforms0.89. (Reading database ... dpkg: error processing libforms0.89_0.89-9.deb (--install): files list file for package `procmail' contains empty filename Errors were encountered while processing: libforms0.89_0.89-9.deb Processing was halted because there were too many errors. The same error was generated when I tried a-t-get remove procmail (thought that re-installing procmail might cure the problem), and now my system is un-upgradeable. Can anyone help me fix dpkg. I just found that I was making too many trpoes with LaTeX commands and not identifying them until it was too late, , and I would like an easier life with LxY. Thanks in advance. Kd
