OK, so I think my initial question was incorrect. apt was trying to install the regular debian gcc which was creating the dependency on libc-bin. Really the problem is that with just the emdebian repository in sources.list (deb http://www.emdebian.org/grip squeeze main) it doesn't know about gcc. apt-get update shows: root@ls2:/etc/apt# apt-get update Hit http://www.emdebian.org squeeze Release.gpg Ign http://www.emdebian.org/grip/ squeeze/main Translation-en Hit http://www.emdebian.org squeeze Release Hit http://www.emdebian.org squeeze/main armel Packages Reading package lists... Done
and 'apt-get install gcc' show: root@ls2:/etc/apt# apt-get install gcc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package gcc Even though as you pointed out the package is there: http://www.emdebian.org/grip/search.php?package=gcc-4.4&distro=squeeze&arch=armel Is my sources.list line need to add something? Thanks for all the help. thanks, Paul > Please don't complain about multistrap without at least attaching the > multistrap configuration file (and the output of --simulate) that you > are using. I really cannot help you without the actual configuration > you are using. Sorry about that. Most of my issues were trying to get dash to configure. To do that I had to create/touch some man stuff and then rerun /var/lib/dpkg/info/dash.preinst (thanks to the folks on the debian irc channel). And overall we love emdebian. It took some work to get lenny going, but then it was very stable for years -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
