While I followed the libc5-libc6-mini-HOWTO.txt, I suspect I should do some
more upgrading. Upgrading most of the "base" directory helped some, though it
broke xload until I upgraded its appropriate packages. I consider that I
would like to use dselect to upgrade everything at once, but then while some
commands would work, many other commands would probably break.
I currently also notice outlining with the mouse in xterm now works bawkily,
and xephem started from .xsession responds
Can not open edb/YBS.edb: No such file or directory
though it runs fine from the command line.
Having read about the latest gimp in Linux Journal, I moved to the hamm
distribution with the much later version. I got too greedy, so I now have
several problems that did not exist before.
I can hobble around Debian Linux for the next couple months until I can
install hamm via dselect, or maybe via divinity by then. I am now using the
"unstable" distribution after all.
