Firstly I have upgraded my /etc/apt/sources.list to ....
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r0 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1
(20020720)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib
non-free
It wanted 11 upgrades, worked for 7 and failed for my original four !!!
Hints towards the server for me ?
Anyhow to pick a failed upgrade, I choose ..
konsole 4:2.2.2-14.2
I went to http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
searched for konsole, found ...
konsole 4:2.2.2-14
no .2 on the end.
downloaded and installed AOK. My assumption being that the .2 signified to
APT that the package was an upgrade ? and debian.org would have the latest
one ? mmmm .....
anyhow
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
still 4 packages to update !!!
It did not see the konsole package as an upgrade.
The error messages I am getting now are ...
Error reading from server. Remote end closed connection
How can I get konsole 4:2.2.2-14.2, where do I get a md5 string to check its
integrity against ?
Any help much appreciated
Dave !!
