I did a fresh install of Squeeze onto a new partition this morning on a computer that had been running Lenny. This is my usual way of migrating from one major release to the next. The install completed normally. Then I proceded to install stuff that wasn't covered by tasksel. During that there was an error in installing chrony, which I didn't record, and the chrony package was left in an incompletely installed state (i.e. with 'C' in front of its name in aptitude) Now when I attempt to complete the install I get:
cmpq:~# aptitude Setting up chrony (1.23-7) ...

(Also, I have installed the various sleep.s and they do not clear this. ) -- Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
