Re: .deb files arch independant?

[...] Some are (like perl scripts or documentation), some are not (like perl itself or binary programs), so even though deb packages are called binary packages (in contrast to source packages) some of them can be used on other archs. Those can be identified via their filename "..._all.deb", the arch-dependant packages have "..._$arch.deb". So your CDs will at best be of partial use for your purposes.

So: Are .deb packages arch independant? I gather so, just Um, hell no. Source packages are; binaries aren't. But you don't have to download everything. Just download a netinst cd (about 200MB) and install the rest over the net. Make sure you save the debs in /var/cache/apt/archives so you don't have to download them again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Aptitude worked well for manually tracing dependencies; as an example, type '/libqt2' (no quotes), hit enter (which will find the libqt2 package), then down arrow to 'packages depending on libqt2', hit enter again, and there's a list of everything that depends libqt2. Arrow down to a package in that list, hit enter again, arrow down to 'packages depending..', hit enter, and there's some indirect dependencies. Took me a long afternoon, but I cleared a lot of unused/unwanted stuff this way. Also found some other things to install, so I didn't clear as much space as I'd hoped :) -- first impressions are bunk (unknown)

The default operation is to search only within the libs and oldlibs sections, to hunt down unused libraries. If it is invoked with an optional list of packages, only the dependencies on those packages will be checked. The results are printed to stdout as if the option --show-deps had been given. Searching for specific packages will show the package, regardless of its priority. It is possible to specify -, to read a list of packages from standard input. -- When responding, please quote the entire message. Shaul Karl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Re: .deb files for StarOffice
Ahem, no... Staroffice is revamping, and supposedly the next version will be GPL and eventually packaged as a .deb, but for now we're left with the proprietary version. Don't feel bad, there aren't any .rpm's either.
