Issues
I don't know if I should be posting this informatin here or not, I have
tried to join the debian-users list a couple of times, but it never confirms
my addition to the list...
Anyway, I have about 6 different i386 intel boxes that I am testing/using
the unstable 2.2 version of debian on.
1: On a couple of boxes I keep seeing the message
Cannot find termcap: Can't find a valid termcap file at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Term/ReadLine.pm line 305
There is a ReadLine.pmm file there.
I don't see this on all boxes, and I'm not sure why this is happening/what I
did!
2: I updated yesterday and on a couple of boxes the default keyboard map got
replaced, so logging in when the update was finished was challenging. What
happened/why did it happen on these two and not the others?
3: During the initial debian install, since these machines are all desktops
without PCMCIA support, the installation will ask to delete the PCMCIA
package (because it is not needed). If I go ahead and let the install
remove the package then there will ALWAYS be problems during install. I
have been saying NO to the initial remove, then after install is complete,
go back into dselect and remove it.
4: Is it debconf that initially prompted for the method of communicating
with the user during install/configure? (for configuration issues) On one
of the boxes I went ahead and tried to use the ncurses method... it is
working, but I'm wondering how to change it???
5: I am seeing conflicts with the perl versions. In the last few installs I
just let all the defaults go and not try and do it myself (too many
dependency issues!), but still see both 5.004 and 5.005 versions of things
installed (between the base files, fake, and docs). Is there a recommended
procedure for what to select?
6: On the subject of select... I have not ever been able to see any
profiles during install. I may not be calling these by the right name...
but, the selection of packages prior to dselect being launched. Is this
just not ready yet?
Background: I am keeping a local mirror of the
ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists unstable and slink directories on an NFS
machine that I mount and do the installs via APT using the file:/...
location method. I boot each machine via the resc1440 and root1440 disks in
the disks-i386/current directory.
Thanks for your time,
-Craig
