Upgrade bo-> hamm, Problems !
Hi there.
during the weekend i upgraded my system from 1.3.1-XYZ to hamm (using the
frozen- tree on ftp.debian) with the aid of the autoup script.
Surprisingly everything went fine with no bigger problems. But when i
tried to start the menuconfig programm to compile a new kernel it failed
with the error message below :

An older message on this list stated that i need
ncurses3.0-altdev_1.9.9e-2.1.deb from the oldlibs section. Ok, i
installed it
but menuconfig is still failing. I saw that the curses.h header file is
under /usr/include/i486-libc1. How can i tell the system where to find
the old ncurses header files ?
The other problem is that i cannot login with xdm any more. Neither as
root nor as a normal user. I updated the following x11 packages :
xaw3dg_1.3-6.2.deb
xext_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xfnt100_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xfnt75_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xfntbase_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xfntpex_3.3.2-4.deb
xfntscl_3.3.2-4.deb
xlib6g_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xpm4g_3.4j-0.6.deb
xserver-s3_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xserver-vga16_3.3.2.1-1.deb
xviewg_3.2p1.4-3.deb
After the login the X server immediately shuts down and xdm comes up
again. Could it be that there's a problem with the
authentication procedure ? I think i saw a program xauth running with
the parameters A:0 -a ..something - shoulnd't it be 0:0 ?
Can anybody point me to some documents describing the procedure how the X
window server is started ? (especially with Debian)

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please send your response NOT to the original senders email address. Send
it to "sfr@orbotech.co.il" as i cannot use the Netscape email client at
the moment.
