Quoting Zetas <[email protected]>:

I dont know if its still maintained or not, but when using the deb source on the main website it fails almost every time when installing either the server or the client on debian lenny or squeeze... So i've had to compile from source mostly.

I see what you mean. When attempting to browse the ftp server, at first I couldn't even connect (Argh... FTP needs to die). When eventually I did, I was pleased to see that the files in the squeeze directory are mostly dated from March this year -- same as those in the lenny directory.

Nevertheless, on a minimal lenny system, several attempts to install the coda-server package failed:

   [...]
   Setting up liblwp2 (2.6) ...
   Setting up liblua5.1-0 (5.1.3-1) ...
   Setting up librpc2-5 (2.10) ...
   Setting up coda-update (6.9.5) ...
   invoke-rc.d: initscript coda-update, action "start" failed.
   dpkg: error processing coda-update (--configure):
    subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 6
   Setting up librvm1 (1.17) ...
   Setting up rvm-tools (1.17) ...
   dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of coda-server:
    coda-server depends on coda-update; however:
     Package coda-update is not configured yet.
   dpkg: error processing coda-server (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
   Errors were encountered while processing:
    coda-update
    coda-server
   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
   ~# _

The target package and its six dependencies downloaded okay, albeit slowly, but then something goes wrong with coda-update. Maybe I'll try again later, but otherwise I'll just follow suite and compile from source.

Cheers,

Jaap
