Re: less than useful dselect/dpkg error msg
OK, that was probably the case as fvwm2 is now working. However, I do think that it would be more useful is dselect/
dpkg reported "configured".
Linux# dpkg --configure fvwm2
dpkg: error processing fvwm2 (--configure):
package fvwm2 is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status `installed')
Errors were encountered while processing:
fvwm2
To me, that seems to be saying that fvwm2 still needs configuration but there is something wrong. Now I admit
that this is no doubt due in part to my own ignorance. I suspect now that if the package was not configured that the parenthetical statement would read something like:
(current status 'unpacked') -- yes?
best,
