Hi Joey ,
thanks for you advise, but unfortunately it did not work :-(
some apt-get update; apt-upgrade later i ran into the following situation:
Netbase:
I got nice gtk-boxes, that asked me, wich interfaces i want to use (eth0 eth1 ppp0).
Afterwards:
E: Sub-process dpkg-preconfig --apt recieved a segmentation fault.
E: Failure running script dpkg-preconfig --apt
I deleted /var/lib/debconf/debconf.db, even if i did not upgrade from slink. and ran
dpkg-reconfigure --frontend=text debconf. The next time i got the ncurses-interface
and after the same question about the interfaces:
Can't use string ("ARRAY(0x8233c44)") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at
/usr/lib/perl5/Debian/DebConf/Element/Dialog/Select.pm line 46, <GEN23> chunk 5.
E: Sub-process dpkg-preconfig --apt returned an error code (29)
E: Failure running script dpkg-preconfig --apt
Am i wrong or the package?
Thanks for help,
Ingo
