problem with debian 503 netinstall after accepting the automatically
suggested updates
Hello debian users:
I have discovered this
aptitude install reportbug; reportbug
and I am running it from the command line ctrl+alt F1,
I have the small iso file, which fits on one cd
debian-503-i386-netinst.iso
installation was smooth and new software was appended.
Then in upper right corner an orange flower alerted, that some updates
or upgrades was ready to launch.
I accepted and got a list of thousands of new packets and dependencies,
I said "yes and amen." on every two or three windows with a message.
after that, x server hangs, no gnome log in possible.
ctrl+alt backspace has little effect. it somehow restarts, but hangs and
freezes after log in, no mouse interaction possible, only moves, no clicks.
I hope to be able to finish
aptitude install reportbug; reportbug
and send you a bug report with my dmesg.
Before I was surprised by this update attack, the debian 503 worked fine
and all applications I tried worked.
I tried the dpkg --configure -a
and
aptitude install reportbug; reportbug
It is now removing endless lists of of software.
It is difficult to sendmail from the commandline, with no Iceweasel or
Icedove or Iceape.
But I can get the output of dmesg and lspci -vvv ftp that to a safe
place and submit the details.
I repeat: debian worked before the update was launched. It lasted approx
12 hours.
Sincerely yours,
Morten Gulbrandsen
