Re: Errors upgrading 1.2.x -> frozen
The 'file names' are wrong in Package.frozen.
A work around :
- You tell deselect to Update the package list.
- Just after it has downloaded the list, you switch to another console
(or xterm) and, in the appropriate directory,
(/var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp/)
type :
sed -e '/unstable/s//frozen/' Packages.frozen > Packages.f;
mv Packages.f Packages.frozen
it replaces every occurence of 'unstable' by 'frozen'
So your package list is updated.
You can go back to dselect and tell it to continue.
You should be fine. That's how I installed bo. (frozen).
