Bug#10089: Experiences with 1.3 ("bo")
Package: project
Version: 1.3 (?)
I installed, yesterday, what is supposed to become version 1.3. I got
this from ftp.debian.org, downloaded to create a local version on a disk
partition (my connection is via slip, so network installation is
unlikely to succeed).
In general, I must say that the experience was the best I have had with
any linux distribution, going back to a pre-slackware release whose name
I forgot a long time ago. I had installed debian 1.1 (again, before
official release), and had many troubles with dselect, but that went
reasonably smoothly this time.
The reason I had to re-install was that, with all my troubles before, I
had gone "outside" the debian system to replace a program or two, which
somehow confused dpkg, and it refused to work from then on.
A few minor problems:
In dselect, running "configure packages" multiple times, as suggested in
the documentation, did not seem to correct some of the misinstalled
packages (Xserver, xext).
But, I gotta say I am a happy camper. Finally, my mail is working
correctly (never did work in 1.1, since I foolishly tried to set up
sendmail. smail is working perfectly now. I have a few minor bug
reports, which I will post according to the appropriate package.
