Deity still stuck
I am still unable to get deity from the deity_19980324-1 package
running. The command "dpkg-get update" hangs after the error on
/Packages.gz. Eventually I have to kill it. It appears that the
package cache never gets built properly.
The problem is that it is looking for the unstable directory on
http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian/dists/
but there isn't one. There is a "frozen" directory.
Is there a way of overriding this? There is no manual page for
dpkg-get that I have seen and a cursory glance at the output of
"strings /usr/bin/dpkg-get" didn't show me where it is pulling its
configuration information from.
Suggestions welcome.
