Re: A couple suggestions to improve debian installation (long)
Hi:
I have the header files installed, and they have dependencies.
dselect won't let me remove them. I want the kernel sources, but
dselect won't let me install that, it conflicts.
I really don't know enough to feel safe removing the headers by
hand. The obvious thing is irrritating (mostly because I didn't
think ahead!): Remove all the packages having header dependencies
then remove the headers, then install the sources along with the
rest of the packages.
There should be a recommended sequence for package installation,
and there should be some documentation with the dselect package
with gotchas mentioned for idiots such as yours truly. I'll
volunteer to write such a document.
Would someone please help me, even it is only telling me to do the
obvious thing mentioned above?
