RE: Can't find libselinux1
Thanks so much, Oli! I finally just loaded stock sarge (I couldn't even get
sarge to work in expert install mode so that I could disable pcmcia and
dhcp), THEN disabled dhcp, copied all the files onto my usr, var, and home
filesystems (the standard install doesn't let you reuse your old
filesystems, or I had some problem there), modified the sources.list to
reflect testing instead of stable, added several mirrors (for some reason,
it sometimes has trouble connecting to ftp.us.debian.org (loading
problem?)), did apt-get update, upgrade, then dist-upgrade, and now
everything seems stable.
Of course, this means I'm still running with the sarge kernel, instead of
etch, and have built-in pcmcia support in a server, which was my whole
reason for getting started into this downward spiral.
Thanks so much for the response, though. I couldn't look at the man pages
(my system was unbootable) to do an apropos, so didn't know about apt-cdrom
until last night, when I finally got it back again. Guess an in-depth web
search would have turned it up, though.
Thanks again.
