Ok, I have decided that I am stupid. This is the only possible explination. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong using very small words and short sentances.
I am trying to install Xfree86 4.3 on my Woody system. I go to http://people.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages/xfree86/i386/ and download all the files in the directory. I take all the *.deb files and put them in /root/xfree4 I execute while in /root dpkg-scanpackages debs /dev/null | gzip > xfree4/packages.gz It returns Wrote 12 entries to output Packages file which is odd it seems since there are 55 *.deb files. I add deb file:/root xfree4/ to /etc/apt/sources.list I execute apt-get update it returns Reading Package List... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done I execute apt-get upgrade and.... Instead of upgrading Xfree, it tells me The following packages have been kept back x-window-system-core xserver-common xserver-sfree86 0 packaes upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded What am I doing wrong? As always, I am grateful for assistance. Adrian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
