I'm new to apt-get, but I've been using Debian (potato) for several months now. I finally decided that it was time for me to upgrade and try out 'woody'. So I did 'apt-get update' after changing my sources.list file to point to the testing ftp, and after that I did 'apt-get -u dist-upgrade' Everything downloaded fine, but when it went to install the packages it downloaded, right after it finished running the package scan of all the packages to be installed or upgraded, I got this error:
Template parse error near "" at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Template.pm line 102, <TEMPLATES> chunk 3. (in cleanup) Can't call method "DESTROY" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Question.pm line 251, <TEMPLATES> line 3 during global destruction. E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt returned an error code (29) E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt After it gives me this error, it dumps me back out at the command prompt. Does anyone have any idea what this might mean what what I might be able to do to get apt-get to dist-upgrade? Please CC me as I've just signed up for the list and haven't started receiving mailing list messages yet.
