Hello debian users,
I am using pure64/sid. For the past week or so I am experiencing

Does anyone know how to fix this?
 

I don't know any way to fix this, but I have the same issue here. If you 
don't need exim, just uninstalled it and everything will be fined. If 
you need exim... Then I don't know.

I have uninstalled it, and am currently running
libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64
If I want to install exim4, it will upgrade libc6, and base-file depends to
libc6 < 2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.1.pure64
which causes the trouble.
Hope it may help

Thanks for your answer. Well the package is broken, and one has to compile 
it from the sources to get it work - which I eventually did.

Re: amd64 into mainstream

As far as I can see, the main merit of Ubuntu isn't anything to do
with "desktop" support, but rather to do with the fact that it is
several years more up to date than Debian/stable.
and with the fact that installing Ubuntu is possible for my mother, while 
I had to visit her to install Debian Sarge :-) By the way I never 
understood why the debian community never released a "nice" installation menu...

It may well be that there is room for two systems:
1.  Debian, as the "grand collector of package updates," and
2.  Ubuntu, as the folks that actually create release candidates on
some reasonably regular schedule.
That's true, but it could also be the case of Stable/sarge vs sid. Anyway 
this would implie a compatibility between ubuntu packages and debian 
packages, and it already seems that some ubuntu packages can't be install 
on Sarge, even if I have not checked personaly the later, and may be 
spreading rumors founded by debian fundamentalist :-)

wesnoth in unstable

2005-04-18 Thread Julien Tailleur
Can anyone use last wesnoth version?
I can use it under debian sid (not amd64) withtout issue, but it fails 
to start under amd64 with the really usefull message:

Battle for Wesnoth v0.9.0
Started on Mon Apr 18 19:36:16 2005
started game: 1449246887
Abandon
It used to work before my last update, and the 32 bit version is still 
working. If it fails to work on someone computer which has a working 
chroot, can you try the 32 bit version?

Thanks

Re: java plugin for firefox

2005-03-16 Thread Julien Tailleur
Julien Tailleur a écrit :
Hi,
under my old 32 bit AMD, I was running debian and had no trouble to 
use the java runtime environment plugin for  firefox. I had downloaded 
and installed the .bin from blackdown and made the sym link
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugin/libjavaplugin_oji.so -> 
/usr/local/.../libjavaplugin_oji.so

I tryed to follow the same protocol with my new amd64 system (both for 
sun java and blackdown java), but without success:

ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 40 2005-03-16 08:26 libjavaplugin_oji.so -> 
/usr/local/jre1.5.0/lib/amd64/libjava.so

The link was of course not directed to the "right" file. There is no 
"plugin" directory in sun java 1.5.0, so I installed blackdown java, 
wondering wether I  had just made the same mistake. It seems I had since 
the plugin is working perfectly...

the about:plugins page of firefox stays empty of any sign of any java 
plugin.
Any guess?
