dpkg -i * gives segmentation fault
I was trying to upgrade to Woody. I've downloaded the
packages and did the following through instructions
(thank you by the way for all the help so far)
# dpkg -i perl*
I only had one package for perl (seemed a little odd).
I then tried to run:
# dpkg -i *
After a bunch of output, I got a segmentation fault.
I then went through to try to upgrade libraries as I
was getting dependency problems and didn't know what
forcing the upgrade would do.
Then, I thought the best thing to do is to do an
apt-get with dist-upgrade and --nodownload. I found
out that the apt-get must have been upgraded because
--nodownload is not recognized anymore.
I can run pon and apt-get, dpkg, vi, vim, but not
emacs right now.
Am I cooked? And what information would you need to
determine if I am?
I'm considering using apt-get dselect-upgrade, is this
viable now? Well, I got till tonight.
