Hi, Today I installed Sid (via Potato) and became a Debian user, after many years as a RedHat/Mandrake user. Because of this I have a number of questions:
1. How can I see what distribution a package came from? Basically, I want to check that all of the packages on my system are from Sid, not Potato. 2. How do I verify the dependancies, i.e. check that no packages should be installed. When I was upgrading to Sid I got a number of errors which I believe I have solved, but would like to check this! 3. I guess to access my Reiserfs home drive I've got to recompile the kernel? 4. Okay - trouble-shooting time. When I start X if works fine for about 2 minutes, then the mouse jerks for a few seconds before locking up. Any idea why this is? 5. As XFree86 initializes I get these errors on the console: Symbol __glXMalloc from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a is unresolved! Symbol __glXFree from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a is unresolved! Symbol __glXLastContext from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a is unresolved! Any ideas how I can resolve this? 6. What mailing list should questions like this go to? Is debian-user for the stable release only, or all releases including Sid? Thanks for any help, Ross
