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.

1.1 upgrade problems continue

OK, I got the new package file and all of the base packages. Things went 
much better this time, until...

Oh dear, I need to install or upgrade xlib but I don't see...

First of all what in the world does xlib have to do with the base packages?
Second, why didn't dselect notice this fact before in installed ld.so 
thru ncurses3.0? Now the system is in a half installed state!

What seems to be going on here still has to do with the packages file. Is 
there any way to update the packages file to reflect the packages you 
actually have on the drive, rather than all the packages that were 
available on the ftp site where you obtained them?

The above "Oh, dear" message tries, but fails, to give the version number 
of the package it can't find. 

There are two other packages in base that depend on packages not found in 
base. Modconf depends on dialog, which may not be available on an R6 
system. Libgdbm1 conflicts with the current R6 man package.

Does anyone know how to deal with the packages file?

TIA,

Dwarf
