Problem with Downgrade of dpkg
Hello debian-user,
unfortunaltely I did a dist-upgrade to woody leading to testing.
(in sources.list testing was written from earlyer times). :-(
with Pinning I wanted do downgrade to stable, but at dpkg
it stops:
Preconfiguring packages ...
dpkg - warning: downgrading dpkg from 1.10.4 to 1.9.21.
(Reading database ... 49494 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace dpkg 1.10.4 (using .../archives/dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement dpkg ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/etc/dpkg/dselect.cfg', which is also in package dselect
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.9.21_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
How is it going on? Thank You for help!
