Hi All,
apt-get dist-upgrade normally works a treat, but having used it lately
to move from Etch to Lenny (after appropriate /etc/apt/sources.list
changes) I encountered this ugly situation:
Preparing to replace indent 2.2.9-7 (using .../indent_2.2.9-9_i386.deb) ...
Errno architecture (i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-2.6.22-3-amd64) does not

/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Errno.pm line 11.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/sbin/install-info line 308.

dpkg: warning - old pre-removal script returned error exit status 9

dpkg: error while cleaning up:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/indent_2.2.9-9_i386.deb
This kept happening for any package that wanted to use install-info to
(presumably) update the Info doc database - and that's a few packages
when doing a full migration!
I'm presently working around this by commenting lines 11-13 in
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Errno.pm:
1 #
2 # This file is auto-generated. ***ANY*** changes here will be lost
3 #
4
5 package Errno;
6 our (@EXPORT_OK,%EXPORT_TAGS,@ISA,$VERSION,%errno,$AUTOLOAD);
7 use Exporter ();
8 use Config;
9 use strict;
10
11 #"$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'}" eq
12 #"i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-2.6.22-3-amd64" or
13 # die "Errno architecture
(i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-2.6.22-3-amd64) does not match executable
architectur$
...and clearly this isn't a solution at all. I feel distinctly uneasy
with a workaround that out-uglies the original problem like this one.
Does anyone have any idea of what is actually going on here?
cheers,
cam
