I was able to fix it. Apparently if the error occurs, it doesn't install the package at all.

Upgrade problem: dpkg: 'x' not found on PATH
I'm trying to upgrade a Sarge box to Etch and several dpkg: `x' not found on PATH-errors occured. I followed the instructions in the release notes (http://www.nl.debian.org/releases/etch/i386/release-notes/ch- upgrading.en.html): I ran # aptitude upgrade # aptitude install initrd-tools # aptitude install libfam0 xlibmesa-glu When I ran the last command I noticed these errors: [...] Fetched 892kB in 2s (363kB/s) dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and / sbin. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) Ack! Something bad happened while installing packages. Trying to recover: dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH. NB: root's PATH should usually contain /usr/local/sbin, /usr/sbin and / sbin. [...] I checked and indeed, /sbin/ and /usr/sbin/ weren't in root's PATH variable. (I fixed that now) I suspected that these messages appeared in the previous commands too and indeed, with the upgrade of initrd-tools it had similar errors. For the 1st command I couldn't find the console output anymore but I fear the worst. What should I do? Thanks.

Problems after mixing Sarge and Etch
I inherited from my long gone predecessor the administration of an old server running Sarge. It is used for Bugzilla and Mantis and partly as webserver. I'm not very familiar with Debian, I'm a Mandriva man myself, but I'm the only one in the company left that has Linux experience. To keep the system up-to-date I do a aptitude update aptitude upgrade -y each time I get a Security Advisory email . I think it was last week there were a whole bunch of packages that where held back. After some surfing I concluded that I had to do a aptitude dist-upgrade and indeed almost all packages could now be installed. Only a few weren't: moria:~# aptitude upgrade [...] The following packages have been kept back: file libkrb53 libmagic1 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded. [..] However, since yesterday we're experiencing problems with PHP. It seems that with the previous updates the PHP module of Apache was uninstalled for some reason. The problem is I can't get it to install again: moria:~# aptitude install libapache-mod-php4 Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. E: Unable to correct dependencies, some packages cannot be installed E: Unable to resolve some dependencies! Some packages had unmet dependencies. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libapache-mod-php4: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge6 is installed. Depends: libdb4.4 which is a virtual package. Depends: libkrb53 (= 1.4.2) but 1.3.6-2sarge4 is installed and it is kept back. Depends: libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8c-1) which is a virtual package. Depends: apache-common (= 1.3.34) but 1.3.33-6sarge3 is installed. That got me wondering... moria:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib Yep, there's my problem (I guess): I've mixed Sarge with stable and stable is now Etch. So finally my questions: How can I salvage my system? Will replacing stable with sarge in the sources.list and do a aptitude update and aptitude upgrade (or aptitude dist-upgrade) solve my problems? Or should I upgrade the entire system to Etch? Thanks, Nick. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How to remove half-configured package?

One can force the installation or removal or anything else. Apt-get is no more than an oftimes finicky front-end for dpkg's command line options. Can you tell me what command to use exactly? I feel a bit reluctant to experiment with 'force' commands. For the moment, although seriously crippled, we can still use the server for CVS and I don't want to destroy it completely.

Severe problems after upgrading some packages
I've ran in some serious problems when I installed/upgrade some packages: upgrade of libc6 failed and now lots of programs won't start anymore: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls ls: error while loading shared libraries: libacl.so.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Error 14 It all happened when I needed some extra packages for benchmarking MySQL. I did 'apt-get install zlib1g-dev' and it suggested upgrading some packages so I let it. It failed however to upgrade libc6. I'm not that familiar with Debian (I'm a Mandriva-man myself) but at work the test server is Debian Woody. Before screwing up the installation even more I ask your advice: how can I fix it?

Could you elaborate? Where do the modules end up? Where should they be ending up? Would it be possible to access the .deb files produced? Have you filed a bug report? I would be grateful if people filed bug reports when make-kpkg did not work, or put the modules in the wrong place. I don't think it's some kind of bug. There must be something I'm doing wrong because it doesn't matter what version of Debian I'm using, the module copying allways goes wrong.
