 Remove the unofficial repository if you use the official one now. They

the problem was, that I had the official testing repository in my
/etc/apt/sources.list (to get the stuff for backporting)

Only the official and my unoffical stable repositories = it works
fine. Never thought that the solution is so quiet simple.

Thanks Goswin,

Quoting Peter Stoehr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):

 But, whenever I make apt-get update  apt-get upgrade, apt want to
 upgrade Postfix and Vnstat again and again.
 Did I something wrong when building the packages?

I have the exact same behaviour on one of my hosts with the libselinux1
package, which is an official Debian package, so it's not necessarily
related to your own packages...

No clue how to fix it tho'. Using dpkg --force-depends --purge and
apt-get install again doesn't fix it either.

apt/dpkg always upgrade still upgraded packages

2006-08-19 Thread Peter Stoehr
Hi everyone,

I have a strange problem with apt. I backported Postfix and vnstat,
builded the Debian packages, installed them and put them into my
repository. Everythings works fine.

But, whenever I make apt-get update  apt-get upgrade, apt want to
upgrade Postfix and Vnstat again and again. Did I something wrong when
building the packages?

Run aptitude clean and remove sarge from your sources.list. After that
it should update it at most once more.

You should install it as root. Then you can start it with googleearth 
whereever you are.

Start it from a console like xterm in X, so you can see, what happens. Mostz 
errors are errors of rights.

kernel error, packages, unstable

2006-07-12 Thread Gudjon I. Gudjonsson
Hi 
   I hope I am not forcing my solutions to the list. I have had the problem 
with kernel 2.6 14 and 2.6.15 (2.6.13 never installed) that the computer 
froze, most often during heavy simulation but also without anything 
happening. The same happened to some i386 machines as well. With kernels 
2.6.12 and 2.6.16 it hasn't crashed a single time.
   I have decided several times to stick to Debian testing but unstable seems 
to be more usable and less problematic in many ways.
   After reading the incoming mails and talking to my Debian friends I think I 
should recommend two things:
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
On this homepage, all of the debian packages and their contents can be search 
in such a simple way that even I can do it.
The tool
dselect
is a very handy tool to install packages. You can see the whole list of 
installed and available packages. A friend of min recommends aptitude but I 
haven't had the time to check it out properly. The only problem with dselect 
is that sometimes (when large unresolved upgrades occur) it want's to throw 
out several hundred packages at once and if I am not fast enough 
pressing x, then I need to press plus several hundred times. Pressing x and 
using apt-get under such circumstances works perfectly.

Gudjon

Better don't mix sarge and etch. That can confuse apt.

 Now, of course, the installation went without a hitch; and samba is
 installed and functioning.


 However, back to my original problem: what caused the original error?

 untrusted versions of the following packages will be installed

 Yes, I googled; and I found several indications of issues with gpg key.
 So, is this really an apt-key issue, again?

 How can this be?  I have been installing from mirrors.kernel.org for a
 long time; and onto this new amd64 box for at least one week.

Maybe the previous apt-get update call just fetched a broken
Release.gpg file and thus failed to authenticate the mirror. Believe
it or not, that happens far too often. Now, after the next mirror
pulse has corrected the problem, you got a working one and the problem
disapeared.

That sarge and etch/sid have the same package/version but different
md5sum because all packages got rebuild. You can end up with apt-get
upgrading a package again and again every time you upgrade.

You just didn't read the previous error message when you run apt-get update.

Problems with upgrading packages in unstable

2006-04-09 Thread Edward Guldemond
When running unstable on my amd64 system, I am encountering problems
upgrading five packages.  The packages with the problems are docker,
libbonobo2-0, libgtk2.0-bin, libselinux1, and openntpd.  After
upgrading them, they stay in the list of packages to be upgraded. 
Forcing a purge on them and reinstalling does not help the problem. 
This behavior started after moving from the archive on
amd64.debian.net to the ftp.us.debian.org mirror.

Here is the output from two subsequent aptitude upgrade runs:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo aptitude upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
Building tag database... Done
The following packages will be upgraded:
  docker libbonobo2-0 libgtk2.0-bin libselinux1 openntpd
5 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/306kB of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y
(snipped output)

PHP5 dotdeb packages - incorrect MySQL Client API version

2006-04-04 Thread Colin Baker

Hello,

I'm running Sarge on amd64 with php5 and mysql5 packages from the dotdeb 
repository.  Recently, I've run into an issue where I'm unable to insert 
or update tables.  PHP version is 5.1.2 and MySQL is 5.0.19.


One thing I've noticed that is odd is that in phpinfo(), the mysql 
section shows:


Client API version   4.1.15

The libmysqlclient14 (version 4.1.15) package is installed as a 
dependency of php5-mysql.  If I try to remove it, it also wants to 
remove several other packages, including mysql-server-5.0 and 
mysql-client-5.0.  Neither of these list libmysqlclient14 as a 
dependency only php5-mysql and php5-mysqli do.


Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?  Or does it look more like the 
packages in this are repository broken?  If it is the latter, are there 
any other up-to-date php5 and mysql5 packages for amd64?  I'd rather not 
build my own PHP, but I may have to.


Thanks!

Propagation of packages and udebs for D-I Beta2

2006-02-24 Thread Frans Pop
Almost everyting we need/want for Beta2 is already in testing.

The main things that need hinting to go in early are the 2.6.15-7 kernel 
and udev; both have already been OKed by their respective maintainers.

If possible I would like to have debs and udebs migrating on the same day. 
Steve has agreed to add the hints for the kernel (and udev) on Sunday, 
and thus migration for Monday dinstall.

Urgent (?) hints are needed for:
- linux-2.6/2.6.15-7
- udev/0.085-1# Fixes important issue on hppa (#353480)

I would suggest also allowing wireless-tools which is now 9 days old. This 
means Joey's existing hint needs to be updated to 27+28pre14-1.

Joey: the hint for devmapper can be removed, that is blocked by lvm2 after 
all.

Udeb migration hints are needed for:
- dmidecode (deb migrated 23/2)
- base-installer
- clock-setup
- preseed
- udev
- wireless tools
- All 2.6 kernel udeb packages (should all be in the archive by Sun):
  - linux-kernel-di-alpha-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-arm-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-hppa-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-ia64-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-m68k-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-powerpc-2.6
  - linux-kernel-di-sparc-2.6

The same migrations should also happen for AMD64.

TIA,
Frans Pop

Questions about the nvidia packages.

2006-01-11 Thread Christoph Anton Mitterer
Hi.

First of all. Until now (I've just switched from i386 to a amd64 Debian)
I've always used the vanilla files from nvidia.com (and their installer).

The problem of course is that this passes the package systems,
overwrites Xlibs etc. etc.

So I'd like to use the Debian way now :-)

However, I must admit that I have problems to understand how to
correctly do so.

1) I'm using my own kernel created with make-kpkg.
With my old i386 system I've always used the vanilla sources but now
I'll give the debian sources a try.
So I've installed linux-tree-something.

First of all is there documentation about how the Debian-kernel-way
works? I mean there is the linux-source-xx package and the
linux-patch-debian-xxx.

The source package already says, that it's a patched version (from
vanilla). (btw: How can I find out what changes have been applied to
each source-xxx?)

Which patches does the patch pagage contain?

(I've read all the /usr/share/doc/ stuff but it didn't become clear to me).

Ok, when I use make-kpkg are the patches from the patch-debian package
automatically applied? If not, should I apply them?

And whats the designated way to apply own patches (e.g. reiser4, or so
= the deb-package for it is totally out of date)?
E.g. should they be copied to the directories from the patch-debian-package?

2) back to nvidia problems:
What are the different packages for?
(nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-kernel-source, nvidia-glx)

One must contain the binary-only libs (for X), another the binary only
module (nvidia), and one must contain the hooks and interface for the
kernel.

3) About the same as 1) (- patches): Whats the Debian-way of creating
external (not from the vanilla sources) modules? Is there some good
document or so (for the whole Debian-way in kernel/patches/modules
matters?).

4) Last but not least:
My graphic card requires one of the newer drivers from nvidia (it does
not work correctly with the 7147). Why are the packages for newer
versions in i386 but not amd64?

Thanks and best wishes,
Chris.

You can stick with your own kernel if you want.  No reason to change if
it works for you.

 The source package already says, that it's a patched version (from
 vanilla). (btw: How can I find out what changes have been applied to
 each source-xxx?)

 2) back to nvidia problems:
 What are the different packages for?
 (nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-kernel-source, nvidia-glx)

nvidia-kernel-common provides some startup scripts and such.
nvidia-kernel-source provides the kernel driver code that has to be
compiled for each kernel you want to run it with.  module-assistant
(m-a) is a great tool for compiling that against your kernel sources.
nvidia-glx is the actual X driver that talks to the kernel modules.

I am tempted personally to add this to a startup script:
modprobe nvidia || m-a -t a-i nvidia  modprobe nvidia

That should take care of rebuilding the nvidia driver when the kernel
changes.

 One must contain the binary-only libs (for X), another the binary only
 module (nvidia), and one must contain the hooks and interface for the
 kernel.

nvidia-glx is the binary X driver.  nvidia-kernel-source contains the
kernel hooks code and the binary parts for the kernel.

 3) About the same as 1) (- patches): Whats the Debian-way of creating
 external (not from the vanilla sources) modules? Is there some good
 document or so (for the whole Debian-way in kernel/patches/modules
 matters?).

Hmm, no clue about that dir.  Never had to look at it.

 4) Last but not least:
 My graphic card requires one of the newer drivers from nvidia (it does
 not work correctly with the 7147). Why are the packages for newer
 versions in i386 but not amd64?

You can simple grab the source package from i386 and build it on amd64.
Works just fine.  nvidia being non-free and amd64 being still unofficial
and such means a few things don't get auto built.

Randall Donald is the DD who maintains all the nvidia packages. He also
maintains a web page with news about his work @
http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/

An unofficial package repository is also provided, which you can access
by adding the following to your source.list:

deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable/amd64/ 
deb http://people.debian.org/~rdonald/nvidia unstable/all/

One you have the nvidia-kernel-source package installed, it's just a
case of:

make-kpkg --rootcmd=fakeroot --append-to-version=xxx
--added-modules=nvidia-kernel modules_image

This results in the creation of a nvidia-kernel*.deb image, which you
can install with dpkg. Note that the nvidia-glx package will _not_
install until after nvidia-kernel.

I'm running a 2.6.15 kernel with the latest .8178 nvidia drivers here,
and haven't experienced any problems whatsoever.

why new packages take so long to enter?

Hi.

Many days ago two packages in sid caught my eye: firefox (a replacement for 
the new mozilla-firefox package) and update-notifier. However, a couple of 
weeks later, they still haven't hit amd64's sid. Why is this?

TIA,

frustration at missing packages

2005-09-08 Thread Hamish Moffatt
It's frustrating that quite a lot of packages are not available on
amd64, particularly when it's simply because the maintainer has not
applied a patch.

Andreas Jochens in particular has supplied hundreds of patches.
See 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=submitterdata=aj%40andaco.dearchive=noversion=dist=unstable
 for a list of outstanding bugs.
Thanks very much Andreas; this is great work.

Is there an automated list of which packages are missing on amd64?

Is there an NMU policy that we could be using to get these fixed?
Some of the patches are 250+ days old, and against packages that
haven't been uploaded in 1-2 years. changelogs.debian.net/package is
very useful here; a link from the BTS could be handy.

I recently NMU'd tct, primarily to fix the amd64 ftbfs. This
took about two weeks in all, since I first contacted the maintainer (no
reply) then uploaded to the 7-day delayed queue. In that case there
hadn't been a maintainer upload in over 2 years, else I'd probably have
waited longer.

thanks,
Hamish

Ayay.

http://amd64.debian.net/docs/package_changes.txt lists whats missing in
sarge due to this.

 Is there an NMU policy that we could be using to get these fixed?

Nope.
Until amd64 isnt on ftp-master.debian.org there is no way to force the
maintainers to apply a patch.
Its fucking silly from them to not include them, as its clear that amd64
is RC for etch, but well...

Also for sarge there is sarge-unsupported, containing sarge-sources with
the patches needed for amd64. As name says - unsupported. Talk to fs if
you want something there.

unable to upgrade packages via apt-get

2005-08-16 Thread Monty

Hello,

For the past while I have been experiencing problems with my apt-get command
and I was wondering if anyone might be able to  help me with my
difficulties.

The problem is that my apt-get will not seam to update/upgrade any of my
packages even though I know there are new packages available by looking in
/var/lib/dpkg/available.

As an example, I currently have lynx V2.8.5REL1  installed but my
/var/lib/dpkg/available file indicates that the latest package is Lynx
V2.8.5-2.  When I execute: apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade I get:

Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

This seams to be the standard response from the apt-get command as it does
this for other packages as well.  In fact it has been a couple of months
since any packages have updated/upgraded.

My sources.list is as follows:  (I have tried the Bytekeeper mirror in
Belgium as well with identical results)

deb ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian-amd64/debian-amd64 sarge contrib main non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian-amd64/debian-amd64 sarge contrib main 
non-free


When I run: apt-get update it does return information about hitting kmy
sources  so I believe that is working.

Any ideas much appreciated.

Thanks,
  Monty

You seem to have missed the announcements that Sarge has been
released.  Sarge is now the Debian stable release.  There have not
been any changes to Sarge for months.  It won't be changing again
except for security updates and for the regularly produced minor
updates (adding an r# such as 3.0r6 to the release).

 My sources.list is as follows:  (I have tried the Bytekeeper mirror in
 Belgium as well with identical results)
 
 deb ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian-amd64/debian-amd64 sarge contrib main 
 non-free
 deb-src ftp://ftp.debian.de/debian-amd64/debian-amd64 sarge contrib main 
 non-free

You seem to be missing the security updates.  These are strongly
recommended.  You should add the following to your sources.list file
to install Debian security updates.

  deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free

If you want to track testing then you would need to change the sarge
to either etch or testing.  I would not recommend either etch or sid
at the moment.  There are too many transitions all happening at once.

kernel packages

2005-08-05 Thread Lubos Vrbka

hi guys,

there was a thread about sources for 2.6.12 kernels on debian-user. i 
was just wondering how to get these sources for amd64.


they propose (for 32bit, i guess)

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing  main contrib non-free
to /etc/apt/sources.list
# apt-get update
# apt-cache search kernel-image
or
# apt-cache search linux-image
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12-1-686

apt-cache search kernel-image gives me a bunch of 2.4.x and 2.6.8-11

what i have to do to have these sources on my testing (currently kernel 
2.6.11). i downloaded the packages for kernel i'm using just now 
myself... or are these packages in unstable only? i'd like to stay with 
testing, however new kernel might bring more support for my hardware...


search for 2.6.12 amd64 gave me
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/linux-image-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8

thanks for any hint. best regards,

Hi Lubos,
  linux-2.6 (the source package) has a grave bug AND is still too
young to propagate into testing.

If it doesn't install then you are just missing some packages
usualy. There could be some sideeffects of conflicts/provides/replaces
combination at work though. libgl1 does have a few of those and I
guess a simple 32bit package of it would depend and conflcit with the
amd64 package without special treatment.

I got it to work, but not as you suggested.

 Ah, I knew there was a reason why I used Pre-Depends: lib32gcc1
 before. 'apt-get install --reinstall ia32-libc6' should restore the
 link.
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% ls -lh /lib/i486-linux/libgcc_s.so.1

 /lib/i486-linux/libgcc_s.so.1 - /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

It actually does not. But this may be due to the fact below.


 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% dpkg -S /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
 lib32gcc1: /emul/ia32-linux/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

lib32gcc1 does not contain this file on my system, but instead it 
contains /usr/lib32/libgcc_s.so.1, so if I link this one 
to /lib/i486-linux/libgcc_s.so.1, then everything works :-)

So this feedback might help you to improve the amd64-archive package.

Thanks a lot for this great work!

Hehe, I changed it to Replace instead of Conflicts during testing and

Doesn't realy hurt to have them both. It is just that they both

Everything passed well - many thanks! I used sarge repository, because there

transition to the new version of Word Perfect support library, named

etch/sid installation  didn't work for me.

It would be nice to have some more messages during lists update/packages

 Hi,

 I added OpenOffice.org to amd64-archive now and fixed the resulting
 problems. I can now install and run OOo without any chroot with this.

 The package isn't perfect yet so there are some details you have to do
 for now:

 ...

 As always, report success or failure please.

 I found a few missing dependencies:
 - grep-dctrl (for grep-dctrl)
 - devscripts (for dch)

 Then the installation went fine, although I don't really understand what it 
 is 
 doing. Is it kind of a replacement for the ia32libs?

It replaces the ia32-libs packages and adds more debs to the mix.

The ia32-libs package must carry all the sources and 32bit debs inside
the ia32-libs_ver.tar.gz file for GPL compliance and is insanely huge
(205MB) due to this. It also is only updated infrequently because it
needs manual intervention and a 205MB upload for every little change.

amd64-archive on the other hand only carries the script to convert the
debs and fetches them from the i386 archive. So no useless weight and
no update problems. A (not yet there) cron job updates the local
archive whenever the i386 archive changes.

It also can work on other repositories. My next goal is mplayer-686
and w32codecs from marilat.

 But unfortunately OpenOffice doesn't start after installing:

 $ oowriter
 OpenOffice.org for Debian - see /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
 running openoffice.org setup...
 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/setup.bin: error while loading shared libraries:

  Please read /usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz for known

 This hearkens back to when Spanish gold coins were common currency

 2 bits is still[0] in slang use to mean a quarter dollar, and
 also a slur to mean anything cheap.  A 2 bit pair of shoes, for

New 3bit packages for amd64

2005-07-14 Thread Goswin von Brederlow
Hi,

I've uploaded an update of amd64-archive to
http://amd64.debian.net/~goswin/amd64-archive/.

Version 0.2 comes with support for rar and qemu and all their libs
preconfigured now. Next thing I will add is probably mplayer-686 and
w32codecs but you can test other packages yourself if you like. Simple
packages just have to be added to the package list.

This hearkens back to when Spanish gold coins were common currency
in the colonies.  Their value was based on the gold, and
not the good faith and credit of Spain, and they were easily split
into 8 equal parts.  Each bit was thus == 1/8th of a dollar.

2 bits is still[0] in slang use to mean a quarter dollar, and
also a slur to mean anything cheap.  A 2 bit pair of shoes, for
example.

Thus, 3 bits == 37.5 cents.  And in this case, it was just humor.

[0] But fading fast, since not much is worth a quarter anymore.

The term 2 bits is a colloquialism for 25 cents ($0.25). So, 3 bits would be 
37.5 cents.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the term has it's origins in the old 
Spanish gold coin which was called a piece of eight because it could be 
divided into eight pie-shaped bits. Ergo, a quarter of the coin was 2 bits.

Cheers!

It builds a local apt archive of 32bit packages converted to
amd64 so that one can install them with apt. One goal is to have
OpenOffice.org for amd64 but I started small with things I needed just
now.

I forgot to mention that after install you should add

deb file:///var/lib/amd64-archive sarge main contrib non-free

to /etc/apt/sources.list. I haven't automated that yet.

We are waiting on James Troup to activate amd64 on the security
servers. The buildd is otherwise setup and running.

For the time being all security builds are uploaded to
sarge-proposed-updates on amd64.debian.net and people should add that
to the sources.list for now and just till sec.d.o gets reconfigured

verification of packages with gnupg/apt-key

I was under the impression the majority of packages in debian were not
signed, since no one has come up with a way for the buildd to sign a
package using a package maintainers key (and I imagine no one should try
either).  Perhaps the package maintainers could (maybe some already do,
not sure) sign packages from the buildd when they are done, but I don't
think that is the case at the moment.  Certainly I know debsigs just
didn't work very well before given how many packages were not signed.

All packages are signed.  Ones uploaded by the buildd's are signed by
the buildd owner instead (semi-manually after the build completes, not
as an automated process AIUI).

You have to obtain the AMD64 Archive Key (for example from a keyserver:
http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindexsearch=0xE415B2B4B5F5BBED)
and verify its authenticity. Then you can use apt-key add to add it to
the list of keys which apt considers trusted.

Verifying the authenticity might be the hardest part of it. I'm in the
fortunate position of having met one of the signers of the archive key
(Joerg Jaspert) face to face and having verified his key. However, if
you don't have a trust path to any Debian Developer's key, you're out of
luck.

Afaik the only one here involved in the gcc-4.0 branch is Andreas and
only he (and debian-ppc64 members) will have access to the

 It is bit funny, because no matter how many times I try to upgrade them (to

Remove those binaries from your /var/cache/apt/archives/.  Either
remove it manaully, or do something like apt-get clean.

The problem is that from the move from the old to the new
archive, they got a new md5sum, because they're now the same as
on debian.  And apt doesn't download them again, but does say
that it needs to be reinstalled.

 Remove those binaries from your /var/cache/apt/archives/.  Either
 remove it manaully, or do something like apt-get clean.

 The problem is that from the move from the old to the new
 archive, they got a new md5sum, because they're now the same as
 on debian.  And apt doesn't download them again, but does say
 that it needs to be reinstalled.

Thanks a lot, apt-get clean  apt-get upgrade does the job.

 Kalle,
   thank you very much for rebuilding the kde 3.4.0 packages for amd64.  I
 have been using them for a month with no problems.  Do you have any
 interest in building the new 3.4.1 packages?  If not, I could take a shot

get amd64 debs from alioth:

deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.1/ ./

or wait until they enters experimental repo.

hmmm, well, I just upgraded everything to 3.4.1 and in kmail deleted ~400

 security updates for debian-amd64 sarge will be made available by 
 the security team after the release of Sarge, as soon as there will be 
 something to update.

Would be helpful if one could already add the right deb lines in
/etc/apt/sources.list right now (or at least as soon as Sarge has been
released). At the moment, there is no matching tree available at either
security.debian.org _or_ amd64.debian.net. Where will those updates be
provided?

 You need to fiddle with the build order a bit, though.

 But, I've now compiled everything successfully, I'll just transfer the
 stuff to people.debian.org and let you know the repository URL when
 I'm done.

It does compile, but it segfaults. If it was indeed fixed in more recent
versions, as you pointed out, you can try it and then post a bug report
to let the Debian maintainer know.

Packages for amd64 that are missing.

2005-05-17 Thread Kurt Roeckx
Hi,

Here is a list of packages that I think important and are either
not in the archive, or might require a patched versioned to be
uploaded to be useful.  I would like to see all of those fixed in Debian.

- syslinux: #249506: Required to build debian-installer, we have a
  patched version in the archive.
- linux86: #260647: Required to build lilo
- libtool1.4: #247299: Required to build various things,
  orphaned, gets removed after sarge release.
- ia32-libs: #269497: Required to build any ia32 app using libz.
- cdrdao: #249642 

Some others that might be useful:
- mtr: #254089
- nntp: #280278


Kurt
