Hi Brian,
I'd look at the post removal script and see if you can:
1) find out how to fix the problem to allow the script to work on a
re-run
(these are in /var/lib/dpkg/info/xserver-rage128.*)
2) make a hack to allow you to remove the package and then reinstall it
after every other package is upgrade WITH APTITUDE.
The stable release notes say to upgrade apt first and then use aptitude
for the dist-upgrade. READ THE DEBIAN-USER LIST ARCHIVE from the last
week for many, many good hint and info. And like Nixon said 'trust, but
verify'. While Debian has super-cow powers, some times there is a fly in
the ointment. Now back to our regularly scheduled program...
BTW how many packages upgrade ok, how may didn't?
Cheers,
Kev
