I think it's a dependency bug. perl-base needs a "Provides: perl" in its
control file.

Hm. That sounds as if the rescue disk kernel might not be getting all of the
flags it needs. Try them manually:
boot: linux initrd load_ramdisk=1 root=0100
Other possibilities:
root.bin isn't on your rescue floppy. You need it there.

Is that different from linux.if.usp.br /debian ?

There are shadow packages in project/experimental. We plan authentication
support (not just shadow) for 1.3 .

I haven't heard of anyone trying SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) yet.
You'd probably be the first.
You'd have to recompile the kernel with SMP support. There also may be
some SMP support tools that should be packaged for Debian. Try it out,
and tell us how difficult it was.
Thanks
Oh dear - uucp an orphaned package! What is the (*n*x) world coming to?
If it really is orphaned, I might like to adopt it.

Hello, all,
Please pardon me if this is not quite the correct forum for
this question, yet in following this list over the past week or
so, I've seen quite a few questions relating to XFree86, so I
can't be too far afield.

Upgrading to debian 1.2 broke /etc/cron.daily/man; the fix seems to be to
use full path names for find and rm. I don't know why cron reported to

case. Thanks to Ralph and Fabrizio for replying!

Hi all!
I upgraded all my base Debian-1.1 to 1.2 and it ran rather smooth. But
there have been some changes in /etc/init.d/boot which doesn't load my
/etc/kbd/default.map (including 'de-latin1.map') no more at boot time.
In fact i have to manually load the right keymap after having booted
I hate followups to myself! Please disregard my former cry for help. It's
a pity one can't cancel email messages!
