Can't correct broken dependencies on WD MyBook Live?
Hi there, I've got a WD MyBook Live on which I want to compile no-ip DUC client. However, it seems unable to complete some dependencies during installation of compilation tools for a reason I have yet to understand, as my experience with Linux is mostly GUI-based. I would like it to feature an automated client for periodically updating its external IP, and a way to open ports using UPnP in the router, as supported (I don't know the package name yet). Here is the terminal output: # apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt-utils: Depends: libapt-pkg4.10 libept1: Depends: libapt-pkg4.10 E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. Then, following instructions: # apt-get -f install Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...

Both "locale" and "ldconfig" were shifted from libc6 to libc-bin going
from Lenny and Squeeze; my guess would be that you upgraded to the
Squeeze version of libc6, but you did not yet complete the installation
of libc-bin, so now these important commands (and others) are missing on
your system. (The libc-bin package does not exist for Lenny.)
If dpkg still works then you can try to download libc-bin for your
architecture from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libc-bin and
install the .deb with "dpkg -i ...", see here:

I know that in fact "testing" is a very usable desktop platform for many people, but you have to keep in mind that it is really only meant to be for testing the next release of Debian before it becomes "stable". It would of course be nice if there was a separate Debian "desktop" branch available, but this does not really fit into Debian's workflow of getting the next "stable" release into shape and the project simply does not have the manpower to support an additional branch. You might want to check out the packages "apt-listbugs" and "apt-listchanges" if you are not using them already. They can help you avoid bugs and other unpleasant surprises related to upgrades. The chances are quite high that apt-listbugs would have warned you about the problem with the package that blocked your system, and you could have avoided the whole problem simply by delaying the upgrade of that one package until the fixed version became available. (Apt-listbugs checks the Debian bug tracking system for critical bugs whenever new packages are about to be installed and you can simply put problematic packages on hold before carrying on with the rest of the upgrade.) -- Regards,| http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

And many would disagree here and complain why it takes so long for the packages to migrate from unstable :) Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

This did it, thank you very much. Upgrading is possible again. Something about the meaning of the words "testing" and "Ubuntu" comes to mind, but I think it is better if I let it slide. The word 'testing' was chosen by Debian maintainers to show what they think Testing was and is good for them. I should prefer a name like 'desktop' to show what I think Testing was and is good for me. Servers need stable, but for desktops you better use Testing or, if you dare, Sid. The meaning of the word "testing" makes maintainers forget how important this distri is for desktop users, therefore in Sarge there was and in Etch there is beginning right now a period when important programs are brought from Sid to Testing immature and much too early. I did not follow the discussion concerning the word 'Ubuntu' and mentioned this distribution only in the faint hope to avoid the work and the upset connected with the use of Testing, but I am afraid that in spite of my 76 years I am still too curious to change. You can run "LANG=C somecommand" and you will get the messages of "somecommand" in English. This is really important. Thank you very much.

apt-get: broken dependencies

There should be a bug report, but I do not know against which of the five packages apt-get, gcc-4.2-base, lib32stdc++6, glibc-2.6.1, or dpkg. Some further packages also seem to depend on the same 'old' version of gcc-4.2-base. Experience shows that bug reporting against the wrong package leads to no consequences at all. This would be more than disastrous. Testing without upgrades is absolutely unusable. I would have to change to Ubuntu after having used Debian testing since it came up - in the times of Potato, wasn't it? The following error messages I had to translate from German, only a few of them matched with readable texts I found in /bin/apt-get, so please excuse if there are mistakes. Errors after apt-get upgrade, apt-get dist-upgrade and apt-get deselect-upgrade (exactly the same text): Package lists are read... done Dependency tree is built... done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: lib32stdc++6: depends: gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2-20070712-1) but 4.2-20070627-1 is installed locales: depends: glibc-2.6-1 E: Unmet dependencies.

That's certainly an interesting behaviour. Since you wouldn't be particularly concerned about the integrity of postgresql should you be able to install it (because you'd most likely just remove it right away), you might want to try "touch /etc/init.d/postgresql" and then retry. > At the end of the article cite above, it mentioned re-installing > everything, as a last resort.

You really should not have to reinstall a Debian system, unless you've got yourself in a mess by mixing distributions or included other nonstandard repositories. Things do occasionally get interesting if you run Sid, but I've never run into anything that couldn't be fixed. In my experience, aptitute is a much better tool than apt-get, particularly when there are conflicting dependencies or peculiarities. The resolver will usually offer several different solutions to a problem, and it seems a bit more willing to override the protests of dpkg when it knows it's right (e.g. dpkg protests on installation of a package because an installed package conflicts with it, but aptitude knows the conflicting package is about to be removed). It does tend to work better if you've used it all along, so that it knows which packages have been manually installed. But it might be worth a try in your case. Just ignore the incomprehensible GUI mode and use it as a command-line drop-in replacement for apt-get. If you find that this advice is all a bit general, it might help if you include information on what versions of the packages you have installed (and the versions apt-get is trying to install), which Debian distribution you are running, and which repositories you use. -- Alex Nordstrom http://lx.n3.net/ Please do not CC me in followups; I am subscribed to debian-user. pgpN1GLZ91tJO.pgp Description: PGP signature
Apt-get broken dependencies
After trying some of the suggestions in : http://distrocenter.linux.com/article.pl?sid=05/10/12/1952217&tid=106 I'm still stuck with apt-get refusing to remove gforge-db-postgresql and gforge-ldap-openldap because they depend on postgresql which was removed first. dpkg (remove and purge) also fail. ( dpkg sub process returns error code (1) ) even apt-get -f remove doesn't fix the problem because it attempts to INSTALL postgresql (to solve the dependencies), and installing postgresql fails because /etc/init.d/postgresql is missing. Now apt-get refuses to upgrade ANY software because of the broken dependencies wth gforge-db-postgresql and gforge-ldap-openldap. Why is it impossible to REMOVE packages which depend on packages that are not present? Why is it impossible to force removal (purge) packages which depend on packages that ARE NOT INSTALLED? I can understand a warning when requesting removal of a package on which OTHER packages do depend, when those packages ARE installed, but this is the opposite case. This would be something I would just ignore, except NOW apt-get will not install ANY new software because of the broken dependencies. At the end of the article cite above, it mentioned re-installing everything, as a last resort. If I go that route it will be with another distro, since Debian seems a little tired. Bottom line: Postgresql (default) with Debian has caused problems since day one, as have gforge, and now I have a dependency mess. _ On the road to retirement?

re-post: broken dependencies, surgery on package database
I posted this same question on Monday, but got no suggestions. So, giving it another shot ... I seem to have really broken a couple of packages and I now I can't do anything with dselect/aptitude. None of the dpkg commands, even using --force, is helping me fix the problem packages. So, I'm looking for some help on how to perform surgery on the package database. I compiled the 2.4.23 kernel and alsa, i2c and lm-sensors using kernel-package to make .debs. Since I'm now a couple of kernels further along, I selected all of the packages for removal (purge actually) during a dselect upgrade. The kernel and alsa were removed, but i2c and lm-sensors were left in a broken state. With these packages broken, I could no longer use dselect or aptitude -- they kept getting hung up on the problem packages. I recomplied the 2.4.23 kernel, alsa, i2c and lm-sensors and reinstalled them, thinking I might then be able to remove them in the correct order. No go. I have tried all of the various dpkg permutations I'm aware of (from man page) to remove or otherwise un-break these packages. Still a no go. So, is there a way for me to directly manipulate the package database to remove all traces of these packages? Can I go into /var/lib/dpkg and edit certain files so that at least dselect will no longer hang? Thanks, Richard __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Oh, yuck, you've managed to pull in the libc from sid. Do be a lot more careful in future :) To fix it: first, install sash and busybox-static. You're about to mess with your C library, which could potentially break every dynamically linked program on your system. Then, go download whatever version of libc6 packages.debian.org says your version of Debian should have. Then go read the article on debianplanet.org about downgrading. It involves some pinning fun, but it should be able to get your system back to woody or sarge or whatever. Then reinstall the correct libc that you downloaded earlier. You really have to know what you're doing when messing with mixed systems; just because apt makes it so easy, doesn't mean you can afford to ignore the issues it causes. -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/ msg29644/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Please learn how to ask good questions, especially with the subject line... Good: libc6: How to downgrade? Better: libglib1.2: How to install? The second one is better because it states the goal without assuming a specific course of action. Bad: Anything with "urgent," "help me," or words to similar effect. Likely, you expect these words to cause people to go "Oh, I think this guy needs help more than other folks" and reprioritize thier email reading around you. More likely, however, these words just scream "selfish idiot" and the message to which they're heading deleted. Responses you recieve will likely be highly critical.

I installed kdebase-libs today to get Kmail working. It seems to have broken a few things, so I'm wonder how best to deal with it. First, I had gkrellm2 installed. Now dpkg shows: rc gkrellm1.2.12-2 Multiple stacked system monitors: 1 process. rc gkrellm2 2.0.3-1Multiple stacked system monitors: 1 process. I'm not sure what happened here. I don't ever remember requesting gkrellm (version 1) and I sure didn't ask either to be removed -- perhaps it was removed on a installation conflict that I missed? I had also install Aspell 0.50.3 from source -- I have some code that depends on the New Aspell. Now I see this in dpkg rc libaspell100.33.7.1-8 The aspell spell checker runtime libraries. ii libpspell4 0.12.2-6 Portable spell checker interface library That on is probably my fault due to installing the New Aspell from source, but I'm not sure.
