netbase from potato not configuring
Hey guys -- I just did the apt-get stuff to upgrade to potato, but the silly
thing died several times. After restarting it often enough, I got to the
point where netbase was causing eight other packages to not install --
netbase kept returning "hostname: host not found" or something very similar.
The solution to this problem ( after much banging of head..) was to add my
hostname and IP address to /etc/hosts -- does netbase require knowing that
much about /etc/hosts ? am I missing the point?
And, a more applicable-to-the-future question -- how can I view the postrm
and prerm and postinst and preinst scripts of a deb? :)
Thanks :)
