A package install is relatively easy. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it goes something like: 1) mysqldump your Koha database. 2) Try following the instructions on http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze (You probably will have some questions as you go along, so feel free to ask. Questions will help improve the documentation.) 3) Before the webinstall step, import your mysqldump. 4) Run webinstall. 5) Everything should be in place afterwards. The difference between a tarball install and a packages install is mostly the resulting directory structure locations of things. However, you get the added advantage of access to other scripts which people constantly refer to on the lists, but never really apply for tarball installations.
OK -- now I'm totally confused (end of the day, tired) but I got fed up on the last "attempt" at 3.8.3 (same results on a brand new install, wiped the server totally clean), then saw that Chris had announced 3.8.4, so wiped the server again, and it's worse than before [see below] because "apparently???" dpkg / dselect is attempting an i386 package for libxml2, and I end up with 5 modules "required" and four "listed" but not required.
I think I will bow out of this thread, my attempts at helping seem to only confuse you more. Chris
