Re: Help!!! - Potato upgrade using dselect trashed computer...
Ben,
I could not find pam-apps at all using dselect. While I was there, I removed all obsolete packages
(there were several, and this did not have any other affects). dselect did want to install several
other packages but this did not help either.
I am not sure why my system ended up with shadow passwords and such. Prior to this problem, I was
running potato fine without it and dselect seemed to decide on its own to install these extra
packages. Is there a way to get back to where I was?
