-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Because your dselect interrupted with error 1, maybe not all packages are installed. Browse the Select of dselect for packages, where you can see only two '*'. If the package, which causes the error 1 message is not essential, you can try to deselect it (press '_' or '-' to deselect the higlighted package, '*' to select it) and do another install run.
Otherwise I do it like this: # dpkg --configure --pending It will try to configure the packages not configured. You will get your error. You will find that dpkg does an error report on every packet. e.g. # dpkg --configure --pending dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wmspaceweather: wmspaceweather depends on wget; however: <--- look at this line Package wget is not installed. dpkg: error processing wmspaceweather (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: wmspaceweather # If it is a dependency problem like here, install the other deb first. There may be other problems like conflicting packages or wrong version. If this doesn't help it would be easier if you posted the complete error report of dpkg to this thread. ---- On Sat, 24 Jul 1999, pplaw wrote: >hi debian community, > >i'm a newbie who would like an internet box running debian linux. i've >gotten a successful install, but i get error messages in dselect and >xterm: > >1. re: dselect's install.
