Slink upgrade -- package installation problems
Hello!
I've been upgrading a Hamm Beta into Slink. The machine is
Pentium II 233MHz, 64M RAM. It mostly went fine, but a couple of
times I have received error messages about non-zero exit codes from
gzip -dc. This stopped the upgrade process a couple of times, and
I had to use apt-get update, dpkg --configure -a manually.
For one broken package (namely, emacs20), I had to manually remove
the package before it could be re-installed.
The error message I currently receive is:
----------------------------------------------
wolf /cdrom/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/libs 4# apt-get -f install
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...dependency error
Correcting dependencies...ok
The following extra packages will be installed:
freetype2
The following NEW packages will be installed:
freetype2
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
1 packages not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0b/73.1k of archives. After unpacking 172k will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

Unpacking freetype2 (from .../libs/freetype2_1.2-3.deb) ...

dpkg: error processing /cdrom/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386/libs/freetype2_1.2-3.deb (--unpack):

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process returned an error code
----------------------------------------------
(I have attempted to install moonlight, which demanded freetype2).
Anyone has an idea?
