Ok. I just wanted to signal that currently nobody was able to test

Migrated last night. Works great so far. Let's see after more usage.

Re: assertion failure with new KDE packages?

2001-03-06 Thread Ivan E. Moore II
 I just did a dselect update/install on my machine, which is running potato
 plus several extra apt sources.  Here is my sources.list; note especially
 the XFree86 4.02 packages and the 2.4 kernel support packages:
 

[...]

 dpkg: /home/wichert/debian/dpkg-1.6.15/main/packages.c:191: process_queue: 
 Assertion `dependtry = 4' failed.

this basically means dependency loop.  it crops up once in a while especially
with how the qt packages are done...

libqt2-gl replaces libqt2
libqt2-gl conflicts with libqt2  (that way libqt2 will get removed if your
going from non-gl to gl...gotta make sure the next update won't reverse
your decision)
libqt2-gl provides libqt2  


on ocasion dpkg get's confused. I've never bothered to do much more about it
as it's only been reported twice (this is the second time I've heard about
it)..and the first time was when I first created the -gl package and had the
replaces/conflicts/provides in a different order.plus this only *seems*
to be a problem with potato users...so I'm thinking the newer dpkg does
a better job handling this...

dunno...

assertion failure with new KDE packages?

2001-03-05 Thread Fred Gray
Hi, Debian/KDE folks,

I just did a dselect update/install on my machine, which is running potato
plus several extra apt sources.  Here is my sources.list; note especially
the XFree86 4.02 packages and the 2.4 kernel support packages:

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian potato main contrib non-free
deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security potato/updates main contrib 
non-free
deb ftp://kde.tdyc.com/pub/kde potato main crypto optional
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian woody main
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf402_potato/i386/
deb http://people.debian.org/~cpbotha/ xf402_potato/all/
deb http://www.winehq.com/~ovek/ stable/

Updated KDE packages were downloaded and unpacked.  However, the configure 
step failed with the following assertion:  

dpkg: /home/wichert/debian/dpkg-1.6.15/main/packages.c:191: process_queue: 
Assertion `dependtry = 4' failed.

The following packages are left in a broken state:
kview, kdebase-libs, kdelibs3, libkmid, libkonq3, libqt2-gl, libqt2.2-gl,
kdelibs3-crypto, konqueror, kdebase, kdm, konsole

This is reproducible: apt-get install -f produces the same message, as does
purging and reinstalling the broken packages.  KDE sort of works, but funny 
things happen (Konqueror as a Web browser crashes on startup for instance, 
though its file manager function works).  

Is this peculiar to my installation, and is there a reasonable workaround?
Thanks in advance for your help,

The following packages have been kept back

for this, someone needs to use dselect to find out what's not being upgraded.

for sid/unstable users the problem is due to libqt2 being new.  It has to
go through the new package process which can take anywhere from 24 hours on
up depending on how busy the ftpmasters are.  I got messages today that they
were installed.

I can certainly sympathize.  I'm in rural Oklahoma, with about six 
miles of copper between my modem and the CO.  I just started it at 
bedtime and let it run.  It took about three hours.

One thing that helped a bunch here was when I discovered irqtune.  That 
almost doubled my throughput, from abysmal to just painfully slow.  If 
you don't have irqtune, check it out.

I've had masquerading set up for ages but the rest of my family used to 
grumble when they had to go out through my box.  Now they ALL want to 
go out through me.  If I drop my link without warning, somebody always 
squawks.  I have to poll the house before I can disconnect.
