reinstall probs (bug,spamassassin,gettext)
Today I reinstalled my system and have lost several programs and am
having troubles with others. This is to be expected but I'd like to know
how to resolve them.
1) I used to be able to type 'bug <package>' at the command line and an
email would be composed listing the characteristics of my system and the
installed dependencies for the package. I could then add an explanation
and the email would be sent to debian. The package 'bug' has
disappeared. Is there a replacement?
2) I kept my old home directory and now spamassassin is giving me this
error message:
Jun 28 19:06:07 tc spamd[28582]: Cannot open bayes_path
/home/rick/.spamassassin/bayes R/O: Inappropriate ioctl for device
3) I installed a minimal woody and then reinstalled all the programs
from testing. 'gettext' is required for some program but this is what I
get when I try to install it:
Unpacking gettext (from .../gettext_0.10.40-8_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/gettext_0.10.40-8_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/share/man/man3/textdomain.3.gz', which is
also in package gettext-base
'apt-get -f install' doesn't help.
'apt-get -f --force-yes install' doesn't help.
