Hi Phil,
Thanks for the advice but it dowsn't look like that's quite
it. It looks (to my naive newbie eye) like I'm missing another
library (see below) that's stopping xlibs from being configured
(if that makes any sense). Anyway, here's the output of "apt-get install
xlibs" so you can see for yourself.
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
Sorry, xlibs is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
2 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Setting up xfonts-scalable (4.1.0-14) ...
Running update-fonts-scale in Speedo font directory...done.
Running update-fonts-dir in Speedo font directory...done.
Running xftcache in Speedo font directory...xftcache: error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing xfonts-scalable (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of x-window-system-core:
x-window-system-core depends on xfonts-scalable; however:
Package xfonts-scalable is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing x-window-system-core (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
xfonts-scalable
x-window-system-core
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
In retrospect I think I may remember seeing, and ignoring, these errors
when I did /cdrom/upgrade/gui.sh
Any further ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Bill.
