Re: Install iso images on cdimage.debian.org

2005-05-13 Thread Scott Ransom
FYI, the 12 May net-install .iso doesn't seem to contain a kernel-image
to install.  The installer dies during the installation of the
base-system because of this.

dpkg SEGFAULT with upgrade using gcc-3.4 (or 4.0) repos

2005-03-16 Thread Scott Ransom
Hello all,

So I've just gotten bit by a SEGFAULT during a dpkg upgrade 
using the 3.4 (or I guess gcc-4.0 archive).  This occurred 
after --force'ing the /usr/lib64 issue with the libc6 upgrade.
The messages can be found below.  Any suggestions about how to
fix this?

Thanks a bunch,

Scott

Re: dpkg SEGFAULT with upgrade using gcc-3.4 (or 4.0) repos

2005-03-16 Thread Scott Ransom
Javier Kohen just asked (I'm not subscribedto this list anymore, so I 
saw his post on google news) what version of libc6 I'm using.  I 
_think_ (since dpkg is not allowing me to check) that I'm using 
libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.2.gcc4_amd64.deb, although 
libc6_2.3.2.ds1-20.0.0.3.gcc4_amd64.deb was in the process of being 
installed (I'm not sure if it was unpacked yet or not).

And as far as backtracing the dpkg SEGFAULT in gdb, I had tried that, 
but as he mentioned, since there are no debugging symbols, there is 
nothing but memory addresses.

Re: Still confused about pure64 package changelogs

Have you ever used apt-listchanges?  Sound like just what you
are looking for.

Scott

Package: apt-listchanges
Version: 2.57
Priority: optional
Section: utils
Maintainer: Matt Zimmerman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Depends: python (= 2.3), apt (= 0.5.3), python-apt, debconf,
ucf (= 0.28), debianutils (= 2.0.2)
Suggests: x-terminal-emulator, www-browser

Description: Display change history from .deb archives
 apt-listchanges is a tool to show what has been changed in a
 new version of a Debian package, as compared to the version
 currently installed on the system.  It does this by extracting
 the relevant entries from the Debian changelog file, and the
 NEWS.Debian file. . It can be run on several .deb archives at
 a time to get a list of all of the changes that would be
 effected by installing or upgrading a group of packages.  It
 can be configured to do this automatically during upgrades
 using apt.
installed-size: 336

 Let me assure everyone before I start that I'm really happy with

 Most of the time, when I see a package ready to download with
 apt-get upgrade, I can go to packages.debian.org, and find out
 what changed and why.  Every now and then, that doesn't work.
 
 Today, for instance, I see netbase is ready to upgrade, from
 version 4.19 to version 4.20.  The trouble is, looking at
 packages.debian.org, the changelog only goes up to 4.19.
 Now, netbase is kind of an important package, and I'd like
 a way to read about the changes before I load it up.
 
 Another particular example is kernel-image-2.6.10-9-amd64-k8,
 which doesn't even show up on packages.debian.org.
 In that case, I downloaded the source package, and buried in
 there I did indeed find a changelog that appeared up-to-date
 (although with a typo in it).
 
 Do these changelogs appear on the net anywhere, in a way
 such that I can avoid downloading the source every time?
 This isn't Gentoo!

python2.3 missing a key lib

2004-12-13 Thread Scott Ransom
Hello All,

In the 3.4 archive python2.3 is missing a key library (readline.so):

Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information.

ImportError: No module named readline

Note that the module
/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/readline.so

_is_ there in the i386 version of the package.

Should this be listed as a bug in the python2.3 package itself?

Scott

PS:  Thanks for all of your hard work!  Things are working amazingly well!
