The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

0.93R6 -> 1.x upgrade testing



Since there's been talk recently about a beta release of 1.1,
I thought I'd try some alpha-test installations.  Yesterday,
I tried to upgrade a vanilla 0.93R6 installation to 1.1,
and failed.  My upgrade procedure was to first manually install
dselect 1.1.3 onto the 0.93R6 system, then to run dselect
and do a vanilla upgrade taking defaults where workable.

The problem looks like it comes from the fact that I download
packages with msdos filenames from the msdos-i386 directory
onto an msdos-formatted transsfer disk.  I tried to install
those packages from that disk.

Here's the error message I got from dselect [I]nstall.

Looking for part 1 of ldso ... 
 
Oh dear, I need to install or upgrade ldso, but I don't see
the appropriate file(s) anywhere.  I'm expecting version  or
later, as that is listed in the Packages file.

Perhaps you downloaded it with an unexpected name, or something.
In any case, you must find the file(s) and then either place it with
the correct filename(s) (as listed in the Packages file or in
/var/lib/dpkg/available) and rerun the installation, or upgrade the
package by using `dpkg --install --auto-deconfigure' by hand.
 

installation script returned error exit status 1.
