I have at last upgraded my desktop PC from Debian Sarge to Debian Etch. At one stage, the aptitude package was removed. But I used dselect to re-install it and so could proceed with installation.
Moral: avoid marking packages as automatic in aptitude, unless you really need them only when another package is installed. I am having the following problems with the Web browser: 1. Sometimes keyboard input to iceweasel freezes up - I cannot type text into the Location Bar. But I still can use the mouse normally. 2. YouTube works erratically for me. After upgrade, YouTube did not work. I re-installed Maromedia flash player version 9 (the .tar.gz file was unchanged since previous update). YouTube worked. But today YouTube again does not work. I tried system-wide installation. I tried removal of xpti.dat. Did not help. What should I check further to solve the above problems? The full iceweasel version string is as follows: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070310 Iceweasel/2.0.0.3 (Debian-2.0.0.3-1) Thanks, --- Omer -- In civilized societies, captions are as important in movies as soundtracks, professional photography and expert editing.
