Hi, Each week as usual, I did
apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade on my woody box. dist-upgrade wanted to remove my running kernel-image. I said no. By the time it finished dist-upgrade (with an error message due to the kernel-image), it removed cpio initrd-tools... I did apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.14-686 cpio initrd-tools. This one installed, but mkinitrd misses ldd. I checked around, ldd is missing!!!! 2.4.14 can't be booted, I think the initrd is broken because mkinitrd misses ldd. If I now do an apt-get dist-upgrade, I get: linux:~# apt-get --simulate dist-upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Calculating Upgrade... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: cpio initrd-tools kernel-image-2.4.12-686 kernel-image-2.4.14-686 The following packages have been kept back libsdl-image1.2 libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsmpeg0 1 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 4 to remove and 4 not upgraded. Remv kernel-image-2.4.14-686 (2.4.14-1 Debian:testing) Remv kernel-image-2.4.12-686 (2.4.12-1 Debian:testing) Remv initrd-tools (0.1.13 Debian:testing) Remv cpio (2.4.2-38 Debian:testing) Inst tar (1.13.25-1 Debian:testing) Conf tar (1.13.25-1 Debian:testing) So, again it wants to remove my kernels, cpio, initrd.... Any idea how to get ldd back, and solve this whole mess? Bye, Laci
