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...

Probably not, if you already have packages from Etch installed. In that case you would have to downgrade them, but downgrading is tricky and not officially supported. I recommend you upgrade to Etch instead.

Hi Nick! For me it seems that PHP4 is a bit outdated to use with Etch. The dist-upgrade u did intended to install all the new packages marked as stable. I guess somehow there where dependencies within PHP4 and Apache which prevented you to update. Infact it is libc6 imho. One thing you can try is to remove every single unmatched dependency with apt-get remove package. But i have to remind you that libc6 is involved into your problems and got strong dependencies deep into the system's core. So the best thing would be not to try to revert to sarge, but upgrade to Etch. try apt-get -f dist-upgrade else you need to remove the old Sarge packages. good luck! xyan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The one to the LAN is ok as I can login remotely. They seem both to be setup correctly: moria:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # LAN auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.113 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.3 #Internet auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.254.3 netmask 255.255.255.240 gateway 192.168.254.1 Manually calling /etc/init.d/networking restart didn't work either. Some more things I can check? Dumb question, but you don't specify; are both nics up (output of 'ifconfig'? Is DNS working ('cat /etc/resolv.conf')? If you're using static IPs you need to set up name service appropriately. debian.org is 192.25.206.10. What do you get for 'ping 192.25.206.10'? Thanks, Nick.
