Solved: Now X-Windows Problem: Re: /bin/sh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: No such file or directory
I solved the problem by reinstalling perl 5.6 via dpkg.
Now there is another serious problem. When x-windows
starts up via xdm, the screen goes blank and the whole
machine locks-up. I had to use the rescue disk to mount
the hard drive and stop xdm from starting to reboot, get
into lynx and send this mail. *...can't find any error
messages* or anything. This has been happening since last
night's upgrade (woody). ...any ideas?
Please reply to this address as I am still looking for
an outside account that will handle the debian-user volume.
Thanks.
