RE: apt-get source postgres
The reason why i need to use 7.1.3 is that it takes about 2 weeks to change the sql queries to be able to run against 7.2. And i believe it takes less time to compile a 7.1.3 version and get it running on woody. I know there is a lot of improvements in 7.2 but it's not my deceision to stick with 7.1.x for this application. Anyway i received the .dsc and .diff file for potato 7.1.3 and i have compiled it successfully so now i am going into the testing phase to make sure it work properly.

That's dubious syntax anyway - 'upgrade' upgrades everything, *not* single packages, and doesn't take arguments. However, it won't cope well with changing dependencies, by design.

Running testing, right? From time to time you need to dist-upgrade in unreleased distributions, as 'upgrade' will never install or remove any packages, only upgrade currently installed ones.

I have a similiar problem, but I am running Woody, recently updated from a pre-beta installation. I have 240 packages held back, and none of the solutions suggested here works. apt-get dist-upgrade still does nothing beyond giving a long list of held-back packages. However, apt-get install package_name seems to work for individual packages. I tried a2ps and aalib. Do I have to install each package by hand? Surely there an automatic way to complete the upgrade from pre-beta-Woody to Stable-Woody? David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

RE: apt-get has turned against me
Isaac, I'm not sure if this will work for you or not, but are the said .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archive/partial by any chance? If so remove them from there. Could be a corrupt download I think. If they are in /var/cache/apt/archive i'd be tempted to delete said affected .debs as well. Go via dselect if you. Run dselect from the prompt, choose your source (in this case i'd go with option 6 (I think it's six) which is apt. Then run thru each step at a time that is presented.

Will a > dist-upgrade still work if I do this? Is there a better way? Im not familiar with this, but you could first run an apt-get clean to clear out the archives and then look at how much space you have for the dist-upgrade. If this fails you try finding major packages that have alot of things that have versioned dependancies on them then do an apt-get install and see how much in terms of archives it pulls in and slowly upgrade your system that way. Try libc6, perl, apache, python, and the like. You can check the output of apt-get -u dist-upgrade to get more packages to do the install trick on. This would be the best way I know of, though if you can find the option you spoke of above and use it I would think that would be better, but I fear that it only refers to how big apt will let the archive grow before deleting stuff and not to how much disk space it will use durring an upgrade. Though I of course could be wrong. > Second, is there a way to make apt (or dpkg) fail gracefully if a > partition fills up?

You could have run apt-get clean after your dist-upgrade. Also I am assuming you installed a new kernel for the upgrade(or there would have been no need for the reboot) are you sure you ran lilo? Im not sure that lilo even cares about a full partition at that point in the boot. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sounds good, however I dont have any deb-src lines however it seems to only be some servers that have the error, I used to get rid of it by removing all servers but one, but thats not a fix to the problem just a work around :( Cheereo, -- \\\ 8(o o)8 -ooO--(_)--Ooo- .-`~`-. | James Hook H O O K | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~-._.-~ | http://hooksoft.8m.com -ooO---Ooo- ...

I got kpackage to start by making symlinks to the rpm libs. I had 4.0.4 and it was looking for 4.0.3. However aptitude is still broken and I don't know if kpackage supports downgrading versions of packages. I also wanted to go back to msttcore 1.0.1 because 1.1.0 screws up all my fonts.

A bad depends wouldn't show up there, but would affect actually running the program. I tried running kpackage and got the message that it couldn't find 4.0.3, which confirms that there is a problem.

Ignore the error - it is about a malformed omf file in file-roller, and is (AFAICT) completely harmless. Continue the upgrade as normal, even though it spews garbage on your screen. There are already bugs about this. As for the Sources entry in your sources.list - I don't knwo what the correct one for that site is - perhaps contact the person running it, or google around?
