What is my mistake?
As it has already been suggested, it may be that you missed some dependencies. I'll equip you with my (dirtily hacked) pkg_download script so you can be sure to have all the dependencies. You can delete the -n option if you wish to download AND install the packages. The default behaviour is to fetch them only. (Original intention: Download package and dependencies on system A with Internet access, copy the result to system B without Internet access, and then install them there.) #!/bin/sh # # pkg_download.sh # =============== # # fetch a precompiled package as well as its dependencies # for further installation # # Written 2008-08-19 if [ "$1" = "" ]; then echo "$0 <package>" exit 1 fi echo -n "fetching $1 ...
