Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc
yHi Russell
I removed all zope files and updated the status file. Then I was able
to install zope. Am now running apt-get dselect-upgrade, to see if I can
get my xwindows to install and run.
Thanks for the extensive, patient help. I greatly appreciate it!
Regards,
Russ
