In the chroot /etc/apt/sources.list was empty.

It seems to have worked using combination of cdebootstrap and switching to testing instead of sid (which should be sufficient for me, since I'm really just trying to get firefox running in 32 bit so I can use the flash plugin). Now I've got another problem. When trying to apt-get libx11-6, I get erebus:/# apt-get install libx11-6 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package libx11-6 Does this have to do with the switch to xorg instead of xfee86? If so is there a different package I should be installing? Thanks, Aethon

Problem creating ia32 chroot
Hi, I'm trying to create an ia32 chroot. I'm following the directions from https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id271960 So I start with: erebus:/home/will# debootstrap --arch i386 sid /var/chroot/sid-ia32 ftp://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian/ Which spits out tons of stuff, ending with I: Configuring libopencdk8... I: Configuring libgnutls12... I: Configuring libgnutls11... I: Configuring libldap2... I: Configuring netbase... I: Configuring gnupg... I: Configuring sysklogd... I: Configuring klogd...

W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. W: Failure while configuring base packages. I've run the command twice with the same result. Just in case I also tried the next two steps: erebus:/home/will# chroot /var/chroot/sid-ia32/ erebus:/# apt-get install libx11-6 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.10 but it is not installable Depends: libsigc++-2.0-0c2 (>= 2.0.2) but it is not installable libx11-6: Depends: x11-common (> 4.3.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: xlibs-data but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a s olution). So is this just a problem with sid being broken at the moment? Or is there something else I can do to make things work?

I just followed the directions from http://home.comcast.net/~andrex/Debian-nVidia/ going "the Debian way" using module-assistant. I used the stock 2.6.12 debian kernel and it all worked without a hitch. Then I updated the X server configurations "The Debian way" (with dpkg-reconfigure) except I'm running xorg instead of xfree86. Parts 3b,3c I didn't even have to do since I already had a GUI going it was just using VGA @ 640x480 so 3b was done and I tried 3c by rebooting instead (the lazy way out, but it works). The one thing to keep in mind, which you can probably skip with some appropriate command line flags that I don't know, is that when doing the module-assistant thing you need to be running the kernel that you are trying to build the module for.

Kernel Headers for 2.6.11
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 to 2.6.11-amd64-k8. The package installs fine and boots up ok, and even recognizes my sound card (which the 2.6.8 kernel does not, hence the reason I'm upgrading). The problem is when I try to install the nvidia module. I've installed the module for 2.6.8 using module-assistant with no problem. When I went to do this on 2.6.11 I get a problem running "module-assistant prepare". It complains that it cannot find the package kernel-headers-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8. I've search around for the package on packages.debian.org and can't seem to locate it. So where can I find this package or something else to resolve this dependancy? If it is relevant, my /etc/apt/sources.list has deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free I'm running testing with the occasional package from unstable.

To start with you could clarify your question Or was it justa statement ? I think the problem is circular dependancies. When I tried to install openoffice myself a day or two ago it complained -bin needed -debian-files to install, and -debian-files needed -bin to install. At the time I wasn't able to find this as a bug on bugs.debian.org, but since I'm not familiar enough with the bugs system there is a very good chance I overlooked it. -- Aethon
