Thank you very much. I had also another reply via private e-mail,
Marco Frattola <mfrattola@mail.enjoy.it> kindly sent the following to me
(pointing out that it may not be up to date):
Subject: List of installation problems for 1.2
The following list was composed from reports of those who have already
installed Debian GNU/Linux 1.2. If you are having any trouble with your
installation, consult this list for possible solutions.
1. Already reported as a bug: Can't find xlib6 so file.
Add /usr/X11R6/lib to ld.so.conf and run ldconfig.
2. Dselect fails to satisfy pre-depends for perl (libdl1)
Installing ldso by hand solves the problem.
3. Bug#5659: dpkg-gencontrol fails in chown new files listfile.
Possible patch.
4. New sendmail fails to use old .cf file
One report indicates re-installation fixes the problem.
5. Cron dies. (actually never starts)
Run "update-rc.d cron defaults"
6. Gcc depends on cpp, but cpp conflicts with gcc.
Retag gcc and re-run deselect.
7. Modconf messes up screen display on some lines.
Possible dialog problem?
8. /bin/perl disapears and reappears during installation.
Replace link by hand: ln -s /usr/bin/perl /bin/perl
9. Bug#5479 dpkg fails to preserve set id bits when copying files.
No fix reported (possible patch)
10. gpm preinstall can't remove old gpm
Remove by hand using dpkg --purge.
11. xbase can't remove xdm and xfs
Remove by hand using dpkg --purge.
12. libg++ and libg++-dev conflict.
Re-running the installation fixes it.
13. dependent packages bomb because libc5 is not installed first
Upgrade base first.
14. no /dev/sr0 from MAKEDEV
New version fixes this.
15. Gimp fails because there is no .gimprc file
Create an empty .gimprc
16. Base-files should Provide: base
Was: Smartlist and possibly other programs as well, depend on base.
Fixed in the next version.
17. Adduser depends on perl-suid, not in base.
Install by hand using --force-depends
18. Mc fails to declare it's dependence on libgpm.
Should declare dpendence on libgpm.
Install the gpm package.
See you again.
