G'day,
Following sections 2.4 and 3.5 of http//www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/
I attempted an upgrade from a downloaded ubuntu 5.10 install CD, using
# apt-cdrom add
# apt-get -u dist-upgrade
That went well, until:
Preparing to replace esound 0.2.35-0ubuntu1 (using
.../esound_0.2.36-0ubuntu5_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement esound ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/cdrom//pool/main/o/openh323/libopenh323-1.15.3c2_1.15.6-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Now, I had to retype the above, reading from the screen of the machine
being upgraded, but the "//" in the path is not a typo.
Faint heartedness wins few battles, so I retried apt-get -u dist-upgrade
, but encountered "Unmet dependencies ... try -f ..."
That resulted in a number of new dependency errors and another:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

(locales are shot, X doesn't work, but I still have a command line, and
an installation that is best named Hairy. :-)
