Re: Time Keeps A changin'
as i said i had the same problems with slink. as i replied privately to
roddie, this time problem i had in slink coincided with the breaking of my
linker. i really don't know WHAT caused it, but every time i used apt to try
to upgrade to potato it broke my linker and my time was messed up. in the
end i gave up and installed a potato base, and both broke again in the same
exact manner when i upgraded my linker with apt. i concluded that if i start
with potato and don't upgrade anything having to do with ldso or the linker
in any way, it stops that problem. still i can't figure out what a linker
would have to do with time! perhaps its something in libc6 that was clashing
with the potato packages. no dependency problems were reported and
everything went smoothly but it broke on me over and over.... in the end i
gave up on slink. potato is working great for me, even with libc6.1. in fact
it seems more stable than my slink was. maybe i'm just lucky? or maybe there
was a faulty .deb package at the time i was using apt to try to upgrade? its
an interesting dilemma for sure...and stranger still, the breaking of my
slink system seemed to be caused by apt.. if i didnt use apt to install
anything, it was fine. <shrug> anyone else with an odd time problem, or who
has experienced it, please give input. thanks!
