Hi I used wget to grab Raphaƫl Hertzog's woody iso last weekend and was going to try it out today, but I see he's released a new version. I've tried to update it using rsync -- I'm an rsync virgin:), but everything I've tried has failed. These are the commands I've tried: |rsync people.debian.or

2000-04-30 Thread Brian Greenfield
I use apt-get to keep this potato box up to date. However, I often use dpkg -l to search for packages whose name I'm not quite sure of. It was during one of these searches ('dpkg -l syslog\*') that I noticed that the packages available according to dpkg is different to that of dselect and apt-get.

Hi I updated my two potato boxes earlier today (29/12) using apt-get. One succeeded but the other segfaulted after/during configuration of mc, which was the last package to config. Now, whenever I try almost any operation with apt-get, I get a segfault while it is reading the package lists. The o
