Upgrade Troubles on Thinkpad 365XD
I am having a lot of trouble upgrading my Thinkpad 365XD from 1.2
to 1.3 (cleanly). Most of the packages installed nicely, but now
I cannot remove the kernel-source-2.0.27 package or install any
of the newer kernel source packages. I am also having trouble
getting a couple of other packages installed that have not given
me any problems on my other machines.
Now, for instance, when I want to install kernel-source-2.0.29,
I get 'dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute post-installation
script: No such file or directory.' I get this from dselect
as well as when I simply use dpkg to install the package.
When I try to remove kernel-source-2.0.27, I get a similar error,
but for the post-removal script.
Does anyone know what could be going on? Is there a way to recover
my system. (I do not have much of value on the system at the moment,
but I hesitate to start from scratch with this distribution on this
machine, because it cannot boot bzImages. Here is one place that
my old (nonupgradable) Slackware has outshone Debian - it ran very
well on this machine. I hope to never have to go back to Slackware,
however...)
