Re: testing dist-upgrade (upgrade apt ... remove vital packages!?)
Hi Colin,
Thanks for the info. That seems to have been the problem indeed. I
wasn't able to downgrade to a prior version of debconf (it was complaining
about some perl problems). So, I upgraded to the newest unstable version of
debconf, and all is working well now. Perhaps I have just pushed off some
problems until later, but I will cross that road when I get there.
Thanks!
Bryan
