debarchiver and ehterconf problem at apt-get dist-upgrade woody to testing



Hi everybody,

i have two problems. Both are coming with apt-get dist-upgrade. I only want
to update the system from woody to sarge. All packages, without debarchiver
and etherconf, are installed correctly.

The problems:

debarchiver: the install progress stops after ?Setting up debarchiver
(0.1.1) ...?. After about a half hour with seeing that the system do nothing
I pressed ctrl + c to stop installing this package.

Etherconf comes after debarchiver and shows me the following problem:
Setting up etherconf (1.17) ...
hostname: name too long
Missing end line at blib/lib/ConfHelper.pm (autosplit into
blib/lib/auto/ConfHelper/getotherareas.al) line 222, <GEN0> line 11.
dpkg: error processing etherconf (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255

The whole process:

apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  mc
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.

Errors were encountered while processing:

Updating Debian Packages of System Configurations (dpsyco).
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I found out that the problem with etherconf is reported as a bug
(Bug#192127). But I don´t find any solutions.

Thanks for help.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen
