Hi.
1. Does there exist an APT mailing list?
2. I was installing the exim backports version, when I got a debconf
error message:
Preconfiguring packages ...
Installed debconf version is broken. Aborting preconfigure.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to fix debconf?
TIA,

Hello all,
I'm a newbie in this debian world so please be patient with me.
I'm trying to undestand everything about debian before I can install them
and I was hoping that some one can answer my question.
It seems that debian has three ways to install packages.
1) dpkg
2) apt
3) dselect

I have been using a script to update my machine every few days to keep
it up to date. The only problem is that lately I have been noticing

Hi all,
This might have an obvious answer, but I couldn't figure it out myself.
Is there an easy way to see the changelog of a new package without installing
it on my system? The purpose of this is to know if I'm interested on upgrading
the package or not.
BTW, I know I can put a package on hol

Hi,
I have a laptop running SuSE 6.4 that works pretty good. I am very
interested in trying out apt and eventually moving to debian.
Does using apt make sense if I'm not using debian?
If so, where should I get apt and how do I install it?
Thanks,
Eric :-)
Hello,
I am using APT to upgrade my debian distribution, but I have some
problems which I cannot find a solution because I have not found
enough APT docs.
So I ask you:

2) How can I make a directory in my hard disk as a source o

Any time you log in as a user different than the one who owns the X
session you have to set the variable DISPLAY. so next time you su to
root simply: export DISPLAY=:0 or whatever you run your X on.

Normally when i'm installing stuff, I su to root in an Xterm and use apt or
dpkg. But if the APT GUI will be X based, and I do that, won't the X-serve
reject the connection?
