updating latest distribution w/ dselect
Excuse me if this is not an Alpha-specific problem.
I recently tried to use dselect to upgrade some packages. It now
complains about not being able to get packages from
/dists/unstable/*/binary-alpha/* -- unsurprising, since when I check
the FTP site they're not there. I've tried going through [A]ccess and
entering `dists/sid/main dists/sid/contrib dists/sid/non-free' as the
list of distributions to get, but it still tries to get things from
unstable. I've tried `dpkg --clear-avail', but to no avail (hah).
Also, the package descriptions seem to have been horked. Bah.
There's nothing much on this machine yet -- maybe I should reinstall?
Which is the definitive location for the up-to-date Alpha
distribution? Should I be using `potato'?
