Re: Trying to install gnome from slink
Looks bad -- hope for a bad copy.
Go back through dselect and unselect the package. Let Debian remove it from your
system. Then run dselect and select the package and let it do its thing.
In the past, I remember having to go through dselect twice but I don't remember why.
Maybe someone will be able to give you that info.
Good luck.
