Saw this baby in unstable, hence removed my experimental line from sources.list. An aptitude upgrade followed by aptitude upgrade showed quite a few packages to upgrade:
The following packages will be upgraded: acpid apt apt-utils aptitude armagetron armagetron-common aspell aspell-bin base-config console-common console-data console-tools cpp cpp-3.3 cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint cvs debconf debconf-i18n debconf-utils debhelper debootstrap dictionaries-common easytag ethereal ethereal-common fam fontconfig g++ g++-3.3 gcc gcc-3.3 gcc-3.3-base gettext gettext-base gift giftd gnumeric gnuserv grep-dctrl grepmail gs-esp gstreamer-gconf hdparm iamerican intltool-debian ispell jpilot jpilot-plugins kernel-package lg-base libaspell15 libaudio2 libconsole libcupsimage2 libcupsys2 libdps1 libeel2-2 libeel2-data libfam0c102 libfltk1.1c102 libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev libgcc1 libgift0 libgiftproto0 libgii0 libgii0-target-x libgimpprint1 libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprint2.2-data libgnutella-gift libgphoto2-2 libgphoto2-port0 libgtop2 libimlib2 liblcms1 libldap2 libmetacity0 libmusicbrainz2 libmysqlclient12 libnewt0.51 libobjc1 libperl5.8 libpisock++0 libpisock8 libruby1.8 libsmbclient libsndfile1 libsndfile1-dev libstdc++5 libstdc++5-3.3-dev libusb-0.1-4 libxaw6 libxaw7 libxml-parser-perl libxml2 libxml2-dev libxmltv-perl lynx make man-db manpages mime-codecs mime-support mplayer-mozilla mysql-client mysql-common mysql-server mythtv-doc nano nautilus-data ncftp netbase openoffice.org openoffice.org-bin openoffice.org-debian-files openoffice.org-l10n-en openoffice.org-mimelnk perl perl-base perl-doc perl-modules pilot-link po-debconf procps reportbug samba samba-common samba-doc smbclient smbfs ssh tar tuxracer-data ucf vcdimager vim vim-gtk wget whiptail whois wmclockmon xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-base xfree86-common xmltv-util xplanet xplanet-images xserver-common xserver-xfree86 xterm xutils zinf zlib1g zlib1g-dev I left it on it's own, and came back later. Every package installed ok except xserver-xfree86. I get a debconf window with yes / no option, but no question. I hit no, figuring that doing nothing is best. :) In the terminal, I have: Preparing to replace xserver-xfree86 4.3.0-0ds2.0.0woody2 (using .../xserver-xfree86_4.3.0-2_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement xserver-xfree86 ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/xserver-xfree86_4.3.0-2_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/X11R6/bin/gtf', which is also in package xbase-clients dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanza #1 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-xfree86.templates So I guess that it's dist-upgrade time, as this file must have changed packages. Problem is, if I do an aptitude dist-upgrade, it wants to install loads of bloat - including all of gnome? Why is this? Surely nothing recommends all of gnome... Can anyone give me a pointer?
