sudo apt-get install thunar evince is now able to run to completion.


Thanks for the info.  I've been using Fedora/CentOS for a few years and
recently had to start using Ubuntu for work.  Since Ubuntu doesn't
really support PowerPC I'm considering suggesting we use Debian for a
new PowerPC-based product.

Solving these sort of setup issues quickly helps give me more confidence
in Debian as a good path for moving forward.

Have a read of

   http://http.debian.net/

and weigh up whether the redirector would be useful for you. But do bear
in mind that a redirection to a bad mirror is still possible.

 I have tried many permutations with --fix-missing   --ignore-missing and

 How can I get apt-get to ignore r-cran-pscl and just install the remaining?

apt-get install $(apt-cache search -n ^r-cran | awk '!/r-cran-pscl/{print$1}')

This is ugly, of course; the proper solution to this kind of problem

First of all:  with this bunch of Servers you should increase your
Apt-Cache value in /etc/apt/apt.conf

 i detected that the file into /var/lib/dpkg/, which is named 'available' is 
 corrupt because i can't open it to read, and the same happens with the 
 'status' files, also into the same directory.

Delete the file /var/lib/dpkg/available, the copy the file
/var/lib/dpkg/status.old to /var/lib/dpkg/status and rerun
apt-get update.

If you have NO /var/lib/dpkg/status.old then look for the newest
file in /var/backups/dpkg.satus.X.gz which you uncompress and
copy to /var/lib/dpkg/status.

I had a similar problem in the past and solved it by adding the following line

try a higher value if it does not work, but I don't know what it means exactly

hmm, not sure about it, but maybe APT::Cache-Limit inside APT{} is redundant 
and not understood by apt. Try either APT { Cache-Limit ... } or 
APT::Cache-Limit outside of the braces.

you should try cleaning your apt cache using apt-get clean and then

apt-get update  apt-get -y upgrade

I had the same problem, but with a local repository for apt. It was an

simply downloaded again and everything worked thereafter

Here's the problem

Try `dpkg-reconfigure debconf`, try which setting works;
Failing that, try `apt-get --reinstall install debconf`

if it doesn't, you'll have to fix this manually I think

Maybe this is not correct, but what I would try in that case:
- get a working debconf package:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/debconf - stable
http://packages.debian.org/testing/admin/debconf - testing
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/debconf - unstable

then if you have it installed,
dpkg --purge debconf (completely removing the current installation of 
debconf)

dpkg -i debconf*.deb

(Can someone give some backup - especially on that manual way!)

HTH,

I am having problems doing an apt-get upgrade with the following

each time i try. the following error occurs.

Are you sure you want to be running unstable? Something like this is

sources

Anyway; I guess you got to get rid of the conflict; so..
dpkg --force-overwrite -i \

Maybe you want to use `script` to make a log file of everything that 
happens; apt-get will continue it's work when it finds that conflict is 
gone (probably) or use apt-get -f install again;

You're using apt from EXPERIMENTAL.  That required a deliberate and
concious decision, accepting that it was not even ready for unstable,
and would quite posibly have serious problems.  You need to go read the
recent thread on debian-devel about this new version of apt, where
you'll find out that non-US is signed with an old, revoked key.  Remove
the non-US lines from your sources.list and try again.

You're using apt from experimental, aren't you? Perhaps you should look
over the recent discussion of apt 0.6 on debian-devel; following -devel
or any other appropriate mailing list is usually a good idea if you
choose to use packages from experimental.

That's the old Debian archive signing key, revoked following the recent
compromise. However, stable and non-US have not yet had their
Release.gpg files reissued with the new key.

Sometimes, a server just happens to be down.


www.trace-route.org

Called my ISP, they can't ping or traceroute the site either. Did a 
whois now am going to contact them.

I know sometimes a server just happens to be down, but 2 days in a row 
is a bit much.




I have not been able to hit it either. It's still down for me right
now as well. FWI, I am on qwest's network.

www.kernel.org was broken.  It should be back now.

Why are you using the ftp method?  The http method is more efficient
since it uses HTTP 1.1 pipelining.

 *shrugs* Because I am. Maybe I'll switch to HTTP after today, but for 
 now I'm happy with ftp. Besides, HTTP = Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, 
 FTP = File Transfer Protocol. In my mind it makes more sense to use ftp 
 to retrieve those files because FTP was made specifically for this purpose.
 
 Perhaps one day they'll improve upon FTP.

HTTP improved upon FTP long ago. The fact that the name hasn't been
changed doesn't affect this.

The only reason I've needed to use FTP in the last few years, other than
to download files from locations that don't advertise an HTTP
alternative, is when interacting with obsolete machines where for one
reason or another I can't get either ssh or a simple web server going.
Even for file uploads you probably want to consider a web server that
supports HTTP PUT, as that's usually easier to secure.

Other than laziness and perhaps lack of handy HTTP PUT clients, although
I think the advent of WebDAV support in popular applications is
beginning to fix the latter, I can't see a reason to use FTP in the
modern world. Debian mirrors still provide it probably mostly because
it's always been there (Debian predates HTTP/1.1 by a few years), and
because the administrators would get deluged in uninformed e-mail if
they turned it off.

Maybe somebody should put together canned configuration files for a few
popular web servers that provide authenticated upload and anonymous
download, together with a set of links to good clients for all popular
operating systems. Then we might be able to start killing off the
security nightmares that are most FTP servers.

Well Im not totally sure, but you could try figureing out what packages
depend on libgal 18 and libaspell110.  Get the .debs from the archives.
Then pull a dpkg -force-depends-version After that just proceed with the
dist-upgrade.  I also remember something about divert.  I am looking for
it, but if my memory serves me, it lets you tell dpkg not to overwrite a
certain file but instead rename it to another.  Like I said I am looking
for where it is but havent found it yet.  I hope this helps some.

Try:

$ dpkg --purge --force-depends libgal18 libaspell4
$ apt-get dist-upgrade

Apparently, libgal and libaspell don't replace older versions, leading
to the overwrite problem.

Ugh! No, don't ever do that. Just find each problematic .deb in
/var/cache/apt/archives and install it with 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite'.

 I also remember something about divert.  I am looking for it, but if
 my memory serves me, it lets you tell dpkg not to overwrite a certain

That's dpkg-divert, and is intended for a slightly different situation.
