Hi, I just tried to install Deb on a new PC, but I can't complete the install, somehow. Here's what happens.
- I started the install with Deb 2.2r3's boot floppy (well actually the first cd) and then changed my /etc/apt/sources.list to point to an ftp server with unstable instead of stable. - It downloads the packages OK. Now the fun starts... One the first packages it tries to install is libc6_2.2.3-7_i386.deb, to replace the one from the CD (which is 2.1.3-18). Here's what I get: --- Preparing to replace libc6 2.1.3-18 (using .../libc6_2.2.3-7_i386.deb) ... cp: invalid option -- L Try 'cp --help' for more information. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.2.3-7_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 --- Sorry if this seems long, I thought that putting the whole message might help people. I went throught the /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.* to find any mentions of cp -L without finding anything. My system is now stuck half-installed as I cannot continue (libc6 being important as it is for other packages). Anyone knows where to go from there ? Thanks Jeff
