xfree 3.3.4 for slink and dpkg
Hi,
I have just tried upgrading the xfree by manually downloading and upgrading
the xfree packages. I have downloaded all of the packages I need from
Branden's ftp site ( _Thanks_ Branden for slink packages), and xfree86-common
had upgraded smoothly (from 3.3.2.3a-11 version, running on slink and 2.2.10
kernel), but xbase-clients wouldn't upgrade until I removed all my fonts
packages from 3.3.2.3a-11. Then it worked, but failed with the message:
broken pipe
(this was right after it complained about the xconsole.real file which
belongs to xaw-wrapper package- I don't know if two are related). My
questions:
*has anyone upgraded sucessfully from 3.3.2.3a-11 to 3.3.4 on slink
*did anyone tried dpkg --install <filename> to do this, or is anyone using apt
only ( I may be a bit outdated here, but I like the manual installation- call
me a control freak :-))
*is this a bug or is it me doing something wrong (much more likely)
Any help appreciated, let me know if I left anything important out ( I didn't
use xbase_* only package because I am already using a slink-approved version
of xfree packages).
