http://www.linuxquestions.org – Hi, Debian testing: Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 I can now only boot into safemode because I cannot get these 4 packages to upgrade: udev media-player-info xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-intel udev refuses to configure. The full output is below. I have removed (I made a copy 1st) all mention of virtualbox from /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/dpkg/available but that made no difference. Probably a bad thing to do. It looks like this bug but I have no clue what they are on about and how to fix it. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugre...?bug=%23590885 Code: Reading package lis (HowTos)

Debian squeeze without xorg? 16 weeks 1 day ago

I'd like to install a small Debian server (as a template), which contains only the necessary packages. Even though I select only the ssh server and the Standard utilities at the software selection screen, after finishing install I've found some xorg packages on the installed system. (for example xserver-xorg) Could you tell me why? Would it be the part of the Standard utilities?

The Debian Project is seeking a few GNOME lovers to help with a "massive cleanup in the insane amount of bugs submitted against GNOME packages." The Debian/GNOME Bug Weekend will be the last weekend of February, on the #debian-gnome channel on OFTC. From the email to debian-devel-announce:

I have Debian 6.0.4, and I'm running an outdated Geany text editor package.

After a failed LTS upgrade from "lucid" to "precise", I'm stuck in package limbo. As root I have run

1. dpkg --configure -a 2. apt-get -f install

Outputs appended below.

The default package archive at this point contains packages for "precise". What should I do to get past this?

The Debian release team are sounding the alarm: With only one month left before the planned release freeze, the number of critical bugs in Debian 6.0 Squeeze is still far too high to freeze development and create the next stable version of Debian.
