Hello, I have installed Debian 1.2 successfully at home :-).
Now I wanted to install it also at the university. I tried to do this by the "ftp"-method but failed. The problem seemed to be the following: I have a partition mounted on /var of about 80MB. To download the packages temporaryly they were stored somewhere in /var/lib/anywhere. To get enough space I mounted /var/lib on another computer (per NFS) with more than 1GB free space. But dselect (and freinds) seems to ignore this space and stops by saying "Not enough memory" (This are not the correct words -- ask me if I should try it again to get the correct answer.). So I downloaded all files to /var/lib/debian and tried the method "mounted disk". But I also failed and I am wondering what this errormessage would mean. When selecting "Install packages" I get the following: dpkg: error processing /path_to_package/package.deb failed to rmdir/unlink `/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci': File exists After a number of this messages dpkg stops caused by to many errors. What the hell should be the reason for such a message. I tried to set all files in /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci and the directory itself by chmod 777 * but nothing helps. What's wrong here. Is it me?
