I think you missed my point; if the above ping went through, that means
you have net connectivity (that's gluck.debian.org)! Something might be
wrong with your name resolution - where are you getting your

Problems after mixing Sarge and Etch

2007-05-15 Thread NickDG
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 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.

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.
Don't forget to take a look at the Etch release notes first!

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!

please before you start removing your old sarge packages do the next :
backup all you can.
get the package list of all packages that you have :
dpkg -l packages.txt //if something bad happen you could restore
youre system.


change the mirror to stable
then do update
then it is better to upgrade but it is your choise.
just to check i have installed

That would be a downgrade; it's not, IIUC, officially supported and you
probably shouldn't do it unless you consider yourself an expert.

 Or should I upgrade the entire system to Etch?

Probably a good idea, since Etch is now stable; you'll get security
updates, and you'll have newer software. Of course, that could be a
problem for you; you may have to reconfigure things, etc.

 Nick.

Re: Problems after mixing Sarge and Etch

2007-05-15 Thread NickDG
I upgraded the system but I'm not out of the woods yet: networking
works only partly.

I followed the instructions in the release notes:
http://www.us.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
- aptitude update
- aptitude upgrade
- aptitude install initrd-tools
- aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686
I rebooted the machine and the system came back up again
- aptitude dist-upgrade
- aptitude update
everything was ok so I rebooted again. System seemed to be up again.
Up to this point I was logged in directly on the machine but then I
went back to my desk and logged in remotely.

Problem: no connection to the internet.

moria:~# ping debian.org
ping: unknown host debian.org

The server has 2 NICs, 1 connected to the router, one connected to the
LAN, and both are static.
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?

Thanks,

Nick.

what is the output of ifconfig?

did you end up with a package called 'zeroconf' installed? (dpkg -l
zeroconf), because if so, purge it, its often a problem.

 I followed the instructions in the release notes:
 http://www.us.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html
 - aptitude update
 - aptitude upgrade
 - aptitude install initrd-tools
 - aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686
 I rebooted the machine and the system came back up again
 - aptitude dist-upgrade
 - aptitude update
 everything was ok so I rebooted again. System seemed to be up again.

 went back to my desk and logged in remotely.

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.
