Hi all, I'm running unstable, and last time i did a dist-upgrade, the computer froze, and i couldn't do anything but hard-reboot. Following that, the upgrade of xserver-xorg seems to be problematic. How to "make the system believe" that the package was never installed??
i've already done some dirty things like removing /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xorg.* or editing /var/lib/dpkg/satus and /var/lib/dpkg/available to remove things related to xserver-xorg. dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg_6.8.2.dfsg.1-9_i386.deb gives : (Lecture de la base de données... 130627 fichiers et répertoires déjà installés.) Dépaquetage de xserver-xorg (à partir de .../xserver-xorg_6.8.2.dfsg.1-9_i386.deb) ... dpkg : erreur de traitement de /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg_6.8.2.dfsg.1-9_i386.deb (--install) : le sous-processus pre-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1 Des erreurs ont été rencontrées pendant l'exécution : /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xorg_6.8.2.dfsg.1-9_i386.deb Any tips or help would be welcome : for the moment I just can't upgrade xorg! thanks Philippe
