Hello, I am attempting to upgrade a powerpc based system to sarge. It was previously on testing, but hasn't been updated for months.
I left the download going overnight (over 600Meg downloads according to aptitude), but it doesn't seem to like anything it downloads. No errors, no warnings, but no packages upgraded either. What is wrong? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# aptitude install libc6 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states...

I have seen this behavior before for individual files, when one file is corrupt, but surely the entire archive isn't corrupt? Then again, maybe the entire archive *is* corrupt!

My point though that aptitude should tell you what went wrong. -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
