still problems in 1.1

[Carlos Carvalho <carlos@fisica.ufpr.br>]

The instructions for in-place upgrade don't mention how to compile
things at all, and I'm finding that it's not so easy.

I installed the new binutils and gcc, but I'm missing crt1.o. It's in
libc5-dev only, and it doesn't install because of conflicts with
4.6.27-6. It wants 4.6.27-11, that I can't find anywhere. Susan G.
Kleinmann kindly put it for anon ftp and I got it. However it also has
problems because it's specified as conflicting with libc! I used
--force-conflicts and it APPARENTLY installs, but then "dpkg -s libc"
produces

Package: libc
Status: install ok installed
Priority: standard
Section: devel
Maintainer: Ian Murdock <imurdock@debian.org>
Version: 4.6.27-6
                ^
So why dpkg doens't change it to 11??? This means that libc5-dev still
doesn't install. I'd like to --purge libc, but then I'll have a
"little" problem...

Time for --force-conflicts again in libc5-dev :-( After *many*
warnings it installed, and I just compiled a small program that seems
to run fine...


Another problem: amd doesn't configure well because of an error in
postinst. I used this line to make it work:

update-rc.d amd defaults 35 15

This is a bug I guess.
