apt-get errors
I have just set up debian on a brand new machine. I used the sarge net installer then when installation was complete made sure that I had stable, testing and unstable apt sources. I have done this many times before with no problem.
I have installed a lot of stuff with no problem using apt-get and synaptic, they seem to work but I get a lot of wierd error messages in the terminal output. I was wondering if anyone could explain what it means and what I should do to sort it:
String found where operator expected at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line 96, near "die sprintf(gettext(""
(Might be a runaway multi-line "" string starting on line 94)
(Missing semicolon on previous line?)
Bareword found where operator expected at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line 96, near "die sprintf(gettext("debconf"
(Do you need to predeclare die?)
