WARNING!! - Do not upgrade icewm and icewm-common

Postby anticapitalista on Sun Jun 07, 2009 12:44 am

The Testing and Unstable upgrade of icewm causes the menu to sort of have double vision.
It works, but it is not nice.

If you have this problem then you will need to downgrade to icewm and icewm in stable repos.

apt-get install icewm/stable icewm-common/stable

Logout/login and it should be ok.

You may wish to pin icewm and icewm-common to stable until this bug in Debian is fixed.

echo icewm hold|dpkg --set-selections
echo icewm-common hold|dpkg --set-selections

See the excellent sidux manual for holding packages.

I was looking at sourceforge if anyone had posted this bug for icewm and, while there wasn't any report of it, I found this https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d ... tid=100031 (which was solved) that may have some clue to the menu messing up.
