tasksel problems "No task packages found on this system."
Hi Folks,
Thanks to eveyone who came up with ideas on my errors while installing
Mozilla. (Being a newbie, I didnt think to just use "apt-get install
mozilla"!)
Okay here's my new problem, I repartitioned my hard drive and
reinstalled debian completely. Now I've just got the basic debian
packages, because I installed from floppy.
When I run tasksel, I get an error message
No task packages found on this system. Did you update your available file?
I looked at my /var/lib/dpkg/available file and did not see any packages
with a "task-*" in the package details. According to some documentation
I read on tasksel, it is looking for the "task-*" string to add packages
to the task list -- is this right?
I fixed this about a week ago by editing a file, using suggestions I
found from someone submitting a bug report / complaint to debian
developers about this issue. But now I can't find the guy's posting!
Any ideas? I've been using google extensively but just can't dig up the
necessary fix.
thanks in advance!
