I had a problem to upgrade on an old Pentium with K6 uProcessor from Etch to Lenny. When I edited the sources.list so that I can to update aptitude from a Debian Lenny mirror then I get error message: Illegal instruction and can't to use aptitude anymore. I have tried too to install Lenny from a netinstall or from the first Lenny's installation CD but at the point of setting up mirror for further installation, when I'm running aptitude update I get the abowe mentioned error message. But when I remove the mirror lines in sources.list, and do aptitude update, then the aptitude works again. So, I can't to use the Debian mirror with Lenny, but with Etch this works fine. What can be the problem here? -- Regards, Paul Csanyi http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
