Versioned vs. unversioned dependecies
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hello, firs, please do cc to me as I have not subscribed this list. I have the problem that I do not have alsa and will never have as it never worked for me. It is instable, have poor sound ... However, on the other hand oss4 is working very well for me. Unfortunately, as sound tools uses /dev/dsp (oss api) in the past, more and more applications only support alsa today. To make that workable with oss one has to install the hack liboss4-salsa-asound2. This has a conflict and a provide for libasound2. But now it is not possible to deinstall libasound2 (well, it is and everything except the package management work well without libasound2) so it is not possible to use this package. The reason seams to be that every package has a versioned dependency for libasound2 which seems not to be working with provides. Is there any way to have liboss4-salsa-asound2 installed on debian? And is there any way to overwrite the versioned dependencies?

apt-get not working anymore
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi, maybe that is an issue for debian-user, so I put it in the To too although I am not subscribed there. If you look to Bug #497617 there is a long time bug in apt first only targeting the German translations but now it is independent of the locales. When I run any apt-get command I get the error: E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of. E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.ethz.ch_mirror_debian_dists_experimental_main_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. (The second line is just the one which is the drop too much.) This also happen with all locales set to C. The problem is that it is not possible anymore to update the system at all. I think that is a very critical bug. Is it really necessary to break all installations until this bug is fixed? It is known long enough for now. I have the version 0.7.20.2+lenny1 installed, so it seems to be the most recent version. (apt-cache doesn't work too so I can only view the web site) Regards Klaus - -- Klaus Ethgenhttp://www.ethgen.de/ pub 2048R/D1A4EDE5 2000-02-26 Klaus Ethgen kl...@ethgen.de Fingerprint: D7 67 71 C4 99 A6 D4 FE EA 40 30 57 3C 88 26 2B -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBSp0Hgp+OKpjRpO3lAQrSqAf/SAH5aAWNaWrRyiDD4y6bxmgb08GkbTVa EzrDBxPr15pWAqCC7dfbQiJ4Bf1d+ypl2VhxoFIoU4/sJPsVqoSOi5eiFUs9toZw vx0SikFvJ+v6NigXpXimHcg8uAe2Z9mpZ0NiYPr5f7YvZmXomD4AI/SuuQHYJhbk JWVWaPtNr0LSbMaVVnRlyuTlotUaejU6W7X/48hTyBcr2RuqGlOcICSPG1CTnJmc Z5oNgrcH7C5QxTd9Y3q46NWCBydCPwLRz8pmux3TeknqvjmB/0t2kMKggojsDQHc wjt4yh7xTJ720Vk+mT6AUxFQokahfdmywom7q4ug8/+PGGF0NrWjtg== =DRza -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

svgalib
Hi! I use the debian-linux distribution for some month. Now I have a small problem: If I start the game squake as user, I get the message: svgalib: Cannot open /dev/console. Exit -1 If I start this game as root then everythink is ok. But I don't like to start any game as root. Also few weeks ago there was no problem. Do anybody know what to do?
