Re: APT problems (uncaught exception): workaround
Bug #400560 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=400560 ) has been filed for this failure. It seems to be associated with some sort of earlier failure (power failure in one case, ``failed update'' in the other). I had a failed update earlier, but don't remember the circumstances. The second reporter suggests emptying sources.list and reloading. I'm using Synaptic, and did the equivalent: in Settings Repositories, uncheck everything, then do an update. That went through, and when I rechecked the repositories, it worked just fine. -- Best wishes, Max Hyre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

APT problems (416 error and uncaught exception)
I'm having problems with updating/installing with aptitude, on a mixed Etch/Sid system. When running aptitude update, the output ends with the following: Err http://ftp.debian.org sid/main Packages 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable Then when I try to install/dist-upgrade, I get the following output: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Writing extended state information... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database...

If I try to use apt-get instead of aptitude, I get a pile of dependency errors apparently involving almost every package on the system. Sample output follows (issued command was apt-get install galternatives): snip xutils: Depends: libfontenc1 but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfs6 but it is not going to be installed Depends: xfonts-utils but it is not going to be installed Depends: xutils-dev but it is not going to be installed PreDepends: x11-common (= 1:7.0.0) but it is not going to be installed yelp: Depends: libxul0d but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). However, when I comment out the Sid repo, the problem goes away. This seems to suggest it's a Sid problem rather than a bug. Is anyone else suffering this? Any idea what the problem is/when it may be resolved? Thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I've encountered this, starting just a couple of days ago. On a totally standard etch system. Just before I saw this for the first time, I noticed some activity on the network, with quick fingers to run top I discovered that apt or apt-get was downloading something. This was the first time I had seen this, before I even ran aptitude. Previously only typing u in aptitude did this. In any case, after that, aptitude never worked. It is kind of disquieting that etch seems to download things on its own. An apt virus? nah... Furthermore, the behavior is different depending how aptitude is run. When running it from a konsole (after su), under kernel 2.6.18, I get the above message. When running it from a text console (ie F1) aptitude just hangs after displaying: Building tag database 100% It is possible to ^C out of aptitude then, but if left alone it just hangs there. In a text console under kernel 2.6.17, I get the message above. If I try to use apt-get instead of aptitude, I get a pile of dependency errors apparently involving almost every package on the system. Sample output follows (issued command was apt-get install galternatives): I have resisted using apg-get as I know the aptitude databases would then be out of sync. I would certainly like to know how to get aptitude back, as I was considering a total re-installation. This is a test system and has no user data. BTW, this is the first problem I've encountered, before this, everything went perfectly and the installation was very easy. HW: IBM thinkpad 600E. Ah yes, http_proxy is set to point to another machine on the local net running privoxy, so aptitude goes through it. This has never been a problem before.

No. Install the kernel-image-2.4.18-386 and kernel-headers-2.4.18-386 packages, and reboot into it. Then you'll have a full set of kernel modules, and you'll also have the stuff you need to build whatever other non-free modules you want.

For life is more than meat, and the body is more than clothing.

Check to see what the listed status of the packages listed by apt-get for removal is. We'll return to this later. Sounds like you may have corrupted your status file. Look under /var/lib/dpkg for two files names 'status' and 'status-old'. First, copy both someplace safe. Try substituting 'status-old' for 'status', and see what apt wants to replace. You might also try grabbing the debs for base-passwd, mailman, libc6, and logrotate, and installing these via dpkg rather than apt: $ dpkg -i package-list If neither of the above two suggestions work, try taking the --get-selections list generated above and marking 'install' the packages you *don't* want removed, then send this to the dpkg system with: $ cp package-list.out package-list.in $ $EDITOR package-list.in $ dpkg --set-selections package-list.in Good luck cheers. -- Karsten M.

dselect/APT problems
I am having a bit of trouble getting some packages installed from the slink distribution. I have main and contrib on CD, and I have non-free in a separate partition on one of my hard drives (I wasn't able to find CD's for this). This was not a problem under the last version, as I could tell dselect that I was mounting from a directory that was already mounted, and it never noticed that part was on CD and part was on the hard drive. I am not using Apt, as according to the documentation, and in my experience, it has trouble with the CD's. I am using dselect with an access method of multi_mount -- this seems to be the only way to get dselect to recognize both the CD's and the partition. But when I use dselect to install, it runs through a certain portion of the packages, and then just stops, doesn't install the rest, and doesn't seem to recognize that the rest are still scheduled to be installed. In past distributions, as I recall, this indicated that there were broken packages yet to be handled. So I removed all broken packages from the install list, and re-ran install, but it still doesn't do anything with the rest of the packages slated for install. I don't want to use apt-get with HTTP or FTP, as long as I have everything downloaded locally. How can I get the rest of these packages installed? Steve Martin.

Grab the 0.3.6.1 version of APT from http://www.debian.org/~jgg - it is compiled for slink. Use the apt-cdrom tool to get APT to recognize your CD(s) and give APT a file: uri for your locally downloaded non-free mirror. You may also want to specify a http site for non-us, proposed-updates and the latest slink.

Hello again, I'm having a problem with apt. I've just done an upgrade of my hamm system with a few updated packages, and now everytime I run apt, it wants to remove its own package. The following is a sample session with apt: mort:~# apt-get update Get ftp://ftp.questnet.net.au stable/binary-i386/ Packages Get ftp://ftp.questnet.net.au frozen/contrib Packages Get ftp://ftp.questnet.net.au frozen/main Packages Get ftp://ftp.questnet.net.au frozen/non-free Packages Updating package file cache...done Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...dependency error You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: apt: Depends:libc6 mort:~# apt-get -f install Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...dependency error Correcting dependencies...ok The following packages will be REMOVED: apt 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 0b of archives. After unpacking 1238k will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] n So, apt has a missing dependancy in libc6?? Weird huh. Anybody got any idea why this is?

Re: Apt problems
Chris, I ran into this same problem after updating to the lastest libc6_2.0.7r-2. The dependency in the latest apt is looking for something = 2.0.7pre1-0. I guess that it doesn't see 2.0.7r-2 as being greaterthan or equal to.G Something was posted on this list a few days ago about this being fixed in apt_0.0.17 (or some version like that). I have not yet seen this available anywhere though. Steve Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chris wrote: Hello again, I'm having a problem with apt.
