Hi,
I am kinda new to Debian. I have some experience with other distro's
like Gentoo and Red Hat. Debian seemed like the perfect distro for me :)
But unfortunatly i ran into a strange error which can't even be solved
by people in #debian at openprojects.net
A few days ago i wanted to update the newest packages. I always use
'dselect'. When dselect tried to update and install a certain package
(it had something do to with perl, can't remember exact name) it gave an
error. It was late that day so i went to bed :D
But now.. when i try to do another update this error keeps comming back!
Even when i try to install a new package. I will paste some errors i
get:
[code]
server:/# apt-get install
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
mysql-server
1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
2 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B/2800kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
