I have a binary style package that I've created. The control file has a large number of Depends entries in it which all install fine by themselves. When I attempt to install the package (via dpkg -i) , it lists all of the Depends and it helpfully tells me that they are not installed (which is true) like so and just returns me to a prompt:
ash036:/tmp# dpkg -i xxxx-webserver-apps-0.0.1-10.deb Selecting previously deselected package xxxx-webserver-apps. (Reading database ... 18443 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking xxxx-webserver-apps (from xxxx-webserver-apps-0.0.1-10.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xxxx-webserver-apps: xxxx-webserver-apps depends on php-date (>= 1.4.7); however: Package php-date is not installed. xxxx-webserver-apps depends on php-file-mogile (>= 0.0.2); however: Package php-file-mogile is not installed. <snip - long list of more dependencies> dpkg: error processing xxxx-webserver-apps (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: xxxx-webserver-apps however, if I immediately follow this up with apt-get -f install all dependencies (in my repo) and the original .deb file (it's not yet in my repo) install just fine and everything works. No packages report any errors at all. I admit this is my first custom .deb project but I think I've done everything correctly but I must be missing something that's causing the missing dependencies to install? thanks, Will -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
