Problems with apt-get

2013-02-27 Thread Steven Grunza
I'm not sure if my problem is related to my system's configuration (emulated 
PPC) or PowerPC in general.

When I try to install a package, I get a message that the file couldn't be 
found and the URL that was attempted.  I can copy the URL and pass it to wget 
and the file is retrieved -- no problem.

If anyone has a clue as to what's wrong I would really appreciate it.  I'm 
investigating using Debian as the OS for an embedded product.  The product 
looks like it will have to have a PowerPC processor based on some other system 
requirements.  I'm trying to get a head start on the software side by using 
qemu-system-ppc to simulate the system.


The following screen capture shows the problem.  Note that I was able to use 
wget to retrieve all the files apt-get claimed were not found.  Also, my 
terminal session is an X11 xterm sent from the debian system to my desktop's 
X11 server so if networking was failing, my display would have gone away.

Looks like slow and correct beats fast and broken.

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.

Having Problems with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade

2008-08-11 Thread Mark Phillips
I just completed an apt-get update and apt-get upgrade on my Debian
lenny machine. I noticed that evolution, which is installed on this
machine, is still at version 2.10 and the latest in testing is version
2.22. If I do an apt-get install evolution, apt wants to delete a huge
number of packages and update another long list:

54 upgraded, 34 newly installed, 22 to remove and 454 not upgraded.
Need to get 154MB of archives.
After unpacking 6995kB of additional disk space will be used.

My question is why didn't evolution get updated when I did an apt-get
update and apt-get upgrade? Aren't lenny and testing the same thing?

I don't have evolution pinned to any version in my sources.list - they
are all vanilla lenny sources:

'apt-get upgrade' cannot remove any package, you should try 'dist-upgrade' then

Currently yes, they are. My guess is that evolution (and probably lots 
of other packages) hasn't been upgraded because you used 'upgrade' 
instead of 'dist-upgrade'. Most of the times it is enough, but with 
testing and unstable you sometimes have to use 'dist-upgrade'. If you 
have packages on hold after 'upgrade' you should also try 'dist-upgrade' 
Read the manpage apt-get(8) for the differences between the two.

Andrei

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.

problems with apt-get update

2007-03-08 Thread David Primero Segundo

hi, my problem is the next:

and nothing, the error continues.

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.


till i got this error before, but i can fix it  doing apt-get clean, 
autoclean... but now i can't.

please can you help me?

hmm, not sure about it, but maybe APT::Cache-Limit inside APT{} is redundant

APT::Cache-Limit outside of the braces.

hi

you should try cleaning your apt cache using apt-get clean and then
reissuing
apt-get update  apt-get -y upgrade

I had the same problem, but with a local repository for apt. It was an
corrupted packages error... but still do not know what precisley happened,
simply downloaded again and everything worked thereafter

Re: dpkg --force-depends causes problems for apt-get later

2006-08-20 Thread D G Teed

Hey, thanks a bunch, Dwayne.

equivs was exactly the sort of solution I hoped
existed.  I knew Debian had a rational fix
for this but had never used equivs before.

First I had to uninstall lgtoclnt so that apt-get
would let me do things.

Then I installed equivs: apt-get install equivs

Then I build a simple controlfile:

# cat xlibs.ctl
Section: X11
Package: xlibs
Version: 4.1.1
Provides: xlibs
Description: Xlibs dummy package
This package provides dpkg with the information that
there is a xlibs package installed.
.
Now installing lgtoclnt will not push for X support


Then I build a dummy package:  equivs-build xlibs.ctl
And finally: dpkg -i xlibs_4.1.1_all.deb
dpkg -i lgtoclnt_6.1-2_i386.deb

dpkg -l shows that the package is not real:

# dpkg -l | grep xlib
ii  xlibs  4.1.1  Xlibs dummy package

you *do* decide to install X later, you'll have to install the real
versions of whatever packages you faked with equivs.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or

Of course apt-get -f install would install the whole bloody X-Window

I'm sure there is a solution to this by hand messaging /etc/apt files

 Beware! This will pull in various packages from testing in addition to
 kmobiletools. Are you sure you want to do that? Instead, you might want
 to consider compiling the package yourself, or seeing if it is
 available from backports.org. Or wait until testing becomes stable :-)



Florian Kulzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 The problem is that there was a major change related to the C++ library
 of KDE on Debian between versions 3.3 and 3.4. All KDE applications on
 stable are version 3.3 and depend on package kdelibs4. Testing has KDE
 3.5 now and those applications depend on kdelibs4c2a. The two versions
 of the library are incompatible and therefore the different versions of
 the Debian KDE packages cannot be mixed.

 kmobiletools does not seem to be on backports.org, therefore your only
 options seem to be to wait or to try to compile the program yourself,
 unless you are ready to take the plunge and dist-upgrade your entire
 system to Etch now.



Thanks indeed to Liam and Florian.
I compiled kmobiletools from source.

Try this:

Beware! This will pull in various packages from testing in addition to
kmobiletools. Are you sure you want to do that? Instead, you might want
to consider compiling the package yourself, or seeing if it is
available from backports.org. Or wait until testing becomes stable :-)

The problem is that there was a major change related to the C++ library
of KDE on Debian between versions 3.3 and 3.4. All KDE applications on
stable are version 3.3 and depend on package kdelibs4. Testing has KDE
3.5 now and those applications depend on kdelibs4c2a. The two versions
of the library are incompatible and therefore the different versions of
the Debian KDE packages cannot be mixed.

kmobiletools does not seem to be on backports.org, therefore your only
options seem to be to wait or to try to compile the program yourself,
unless you are ready to take the plunge and dist-upgrade your entire
system to Etch now.

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,

Joris

For 5 minutes or so. Anyway, we figured it out, we narrowed it down to one single package.

Then we removed some (stale) files in /var/lib/dpkg and that seemed to
have done the trick, I guess similar to corrupt __db index files when
dealing with rpm.

 Any ideas?

Package installation problems with apt-get and dpkg on a Sarge box.

2005-11-22 Thread Niklas Palmqvist
Hi there.

Having a problem with a package installation, and I would appreciate some pointers.

Running Sarge on a HP pc, P4, 256 Mb ram, ide disc etc.

So, in this case, want to install freeswan:

quote

The following NEW packages will be installed:
 freeswan
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1951kB of archives.
After unpacking 5473kB of additional disk space will be used.
Preconfiguring packages ...

/quote

But, here it stops and hangs for several minutes (didn't feel like waiting anymore so broke it with Ctrl+c.

Edited this file:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182 Nov 22 05:51 /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf

and remarked this line:

# DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true;}; 

Which took me a step further:

quote

The following NEW packages will be installed:
 freeswan
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1951kB of archives.
After unpacking 5473kB of additional disk space will be used.
(Reading database ... 13604 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking freeswan (from .../freeswan_2.04-11.3_i386.deb) ...

/quote

But then it hangs again. Looking at top when running the above commands I have these two processes:

2727 root 15 0
7208 7204 1724 S 56.7 1.9 1:50.20
frontend

2735 root 15 0
1112 1108 928 R 43.4 0.3 1:20.77 config 

I have tried to apt-get autoclean, apt-get -f install etc, but same thing.

Then I tried to download the package manually from another mirror and
ran dpkg -i, but same thing again, 'hangs' with the above two processes
taking up too many resources.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Niklas

 How about 'find /var/cache/apt/archives *deb -exec

Carl,

That was a very powerful command that I will remember
for later use...after I reinstall Woody and start
over.  Tons of things were installed that apt-get
dist-upgrade missed but they ended up hosing the
system.  I had to boot off of the floppy and re-run
LILO even.  After I got the kernel going the X-windows
system was missing a bunch of things.

The documentation states that apt-get dist-upgrade
is not recommended.  I'd have to say that it just
doesn't work; there aren't many places for a user to
go wrong since it's so automated, but it has proven to
be a disaster.  I don't think it's me...

Some of the dependency conflicts make no sense.  One
that I remember clearly was libstdc++5 needed gcc-3.3
to be configured.  The *very next package* was gcc-3.3
that said it needed libstdc++5 to be configured
(WTH?!).

It was all a huge mass of dependency and configuration
conflicts.  Both apt-get and dpkg were simply not
up to the task of straightening them out and that
command at the top that you told me just forced dpkg
to do it's worst on that mass of .deb's with very bad
results.

It took over 35 hours to download them all...I'd say
that no one should ever try it; just download the
current iso images and cut CD's.  Spare yourself the
grief.

dpkg -r /var/cache/apt/archives would work and would resolve the

Is it -r or -R to install everything in a directory?  I haven't

don't have the man page to hand.

It works fine when you go from one (former) stable release to another,
though you would probably have to enter it several times.

Tim,

I am going from stable to testing so that may be the
problem.  My instinct was that iterating through those
packages would eventually resolve the dependency
problems but the second try didn't install anything
new.

It's all good...I tried numerous methods to upgrade
ranging from recompiling source from kernel.org to
apt-get dist-upgrade.  It was supposed to be an
exploration of the various methods and I think I know
what I need to do now.

Thanks all.

Carl,

It went through everything, and I'm not sure that the
above would do anything differently.  I ran it twice
thinking that some of the conflicts would be resolved
by the first go-through but I'm just going to start
over.  I tried several upgrade methods and I think I
learned what I need to do to get it right this next
time around.

Serious problems after apt-get dist-upgrade

2004-10-11 Thread Eric Dickner
I downloaded hundreds of packages through an online
apt-get dist-upgrade from a fast mirror and then
from the central download site; I assumed that they
were being installed by apt as it went along (it tok a
day and a half by modem) but it seems only bits and
pieces were installed.

The bits and pieces that were installed were critical
ones that seem to have the whole system out of whack. 
For example, I now have a new kernel (2.4.27-x) and
the new lib6c library (2.3.x) going but very little
else is up to date.  The compiler is 2.95 which puts
it out of whack with both the old kernel and the new
one, which was compiled with 3.0.  I _have_ the
gcc-3.3 packages and all its depends sitting in the
/var/cache/apt/archives directory, but am forced to go
in there with dpkg -i and install all the separate
pieces by hand.

I tried changing my sources.list to only point to this
area but apt seems to think all those .debs have been
installed.  I tried apt-get --fix-broken
dist-upgrade and it said the same thing.  APT is
convinced all those packages in the archive are
installed but most of them are not.

I tried to use dselect but was unable to make it
work. That was likely my fault as I found the the
interface very confusing.  If dselect is my only
choice I will go back to dpkg -i and laboriously cut
and paste all the warnings and do it by hand.

Did it, it made the apt-get dist-upgrade get all

the problem seems to be not *getting* the packages,

How about 'find /var/cache/apt/archives *deb -exec dpkg -i {} \;'?

I'm sure you can do it easier with xargs, but I know the find syntax off the

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.

Lilo/initrd problems after apt-get of new kernel-image -- help needed

2003-12-06 Thread Kirby J. Davis
Good morning,

In trying to get my Armada 4130T laptop's soundcard working I've
obtained kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 and installed it. I also modified
the lilo.conf file and it appears to be loading initrd on rebooting
the computer. However, as soon as the BIOS loaded successfully
message pops up the computer automatically reboots itself.

Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this
problem?

Thanks!

 *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

 (I do this for a living.)
 
 Then what purpose does the continued use of FTP serve?

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.

problems with apt-get --- Evolution

2002-01-19 Thread johan boeckx


I have problems with apt-get, namely he blocks the dist-upgrade since
some packets show independencies. The independencies occurs around
evolution, namely unmet dependencies with libgal 18. From some reason he
alway wants to install libgal 18, with message trying to overwrite
`/usr/share/gal/html/gal-api.sgml', which is also in package libgal19.
So in fact I don't need libgal 18, with consequence that this package
blocks everything. The same happens with libaspell10 :  trying to
overwrite `/usr/share/aspell/english.dat', which is also in package
libaspell4 : also here there is already installed a later version, but
still he tries to install it. So what I want, is that these two packages
are eliminated from my apt-get list. But how ? The two files are in
dependency with evolution.

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.

Problems with apt-get offline

2002-01-15 Thread Preben Randhol
I know this is a topic that has been up several times, but I haven't
found an answer for my question.

I have followed the offline document that comes with apt-get, but I
still get into problems.

I do a on the computer connected to the net:

export APT_CONFIG=/opt/disc/apt.conf
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

and perhaps

apt-get install vim vim-gtk

or some other pacakge I want.

Then I put the whole disc directory on a ZIP disc and take it home to my
offline computer (no network card in it)

I copy the disc directory to the /opt and then 

export APT_CONFIG=/opt/disc/apt.conf
apt-get check
apt-get --no-d -o dir::etc::status=/var/lib/dpkg/status upgrade

now I get the message:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0  not upgraded.

so there must be something I do wrong since the computer don't find my
downloaded deb files.

I would really like to get apt-get to work as I run Debian Testing on my
offline computer (I need the newer libs than available in potato) and it
is so painful to use dpkg especially because of pacakges that has to be
removed before one can install new etc...

Thanks in advance for any hints!

my /opt/disc looks like this on the online computer:

Problems with apt-get

2001-04-03 Thread Debian User
I installed Debian from cd-rom.

I am networked.

I want to now manage packages by downloading from http sites.

I've copied /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/sources.list from another
working Linux box.  When I run the same command in the other Linux box,
apt-get install ssh works fine.

However, I get an error when I run on my current box.

I get the following error:
W: Couldn't stat source package list 'http://non-us.debian.org ...

My networking settings are fine.  When I ping www.yahoo.com, I get a
response.

I've tried pinging the http sites in my sources.list and they all
respond.

Is there something else that I should be looking at?

Puzzled.

Re: poff doesn't exit connection properly (was: Problems with apt-get and pppd)

2001-01-26 Thread Christoph Groth
Frank Preut [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

  1) i use pon/poff for my dialup connection.. the problem with this is

 okay to elaborate further on this: again i work on potato and haven't
 fiddled with the ppp stuff other than setting up the connection with
 pppconfig.. since the problem *might* be related to some modem issues: i
 have an elsa microlink 56k.. i don't see this problem when i use, for
 instance, wvdial, but i don't want to use wvdial and i would like to use
 dial on demand..
 
 any pointers to a possible solutions appreciated,

Hey, I experience exactly the same problem!  What modem do you have?
My is an ELSA MicroLink 56k.

This behavior didn't appear with my old Creatix SG2843 28.8k modem.  A
week ago I changed my mainboard (overclocking apparently _does_
shorten the lifespan, but it was old nevertheless...) and my modem to
a 56k one and now that little nuisance irks me too.

I'm not sure whether it's the modem's or the mainboard's fault, but I
don't think that the board has anything to do with it.

I have a suspicion that the reason might be poff not waiting for the
final OK after hangup.  Let's have a look at two snippets from my
syslog:

It seems that poff doesn't read the final OK from the modem.  When
pon says ATZ, it gets that old OK from the modem and the second
OK (from ATZ this time) is interpreted as the answer to the ATD...
command.  As chat expects CONNECT and gets OK the script fails.

IIRC my old modem said NO CARRIER on hangup, but I'm not sure.
Maybe the poff only waits for this and ignores OK.

A solution could be to change the chatscript in some way so that it
eats up an OK before beginning its conversation with the modem.  A
short glimpse at the chat manpage didn't reveal to me how to do it.
And as this problem is not cruical I currently don't have more time to
spend on it.  If you or someone else on the list knows a solution,

 the last message is pppd: exit..
 

okay to elaborate further on this: again i work on potato and haven't
fiddled with the ppp stuff other than setting up the connection with
pppconfig.. since the problem *might* be related to some modem issues: i
have an elsa microlink 56k.. i don't see this problem when i use, for
instance, wvdial, but i don't want to use wvdial and i would like to use
dial on demand..

any pointers to a possible solutions appreciated,
frank.

Problems with apt-get and pppd

2001-01-23 Thread Frank Preut
hello everyone,

i have two problems with my potato system which _really_ get on
my nerves..

1) i use pon/poff for my dialup connection.. the problem with this is
that poff somehow doesn't seem to completely close the connection or
something because when i try to re-connect with pon nothing happens..
that's also the reason why dial on demand isn't feasible.. i have to
repeat poff twice to be able connect again.. i have checked syslog but
the last message is pppd: exit..

2) can someone _please_ tell me why apt-get/dselect rather downloads stuff from
the various sites i have set up in my sources.list than ask me for a
media change?? gee, i'm on a dial-up connection and i have to pay for
that.. why the hell does it download files that i have on my cds just
because they're not on the first cd it asked for.. this might not be an
issue for most of you people and it doesn't really matter most of the
time because one doesn't install a whole bunch of files at the same time
very often but it's a bug in the otherwise greatgreatgreat packaging system
that drives me _nuts_..

i'd be happy to hear that these things are just due to my stupidity so
if anyone has any ideas which would help me solve these issues you'd
really make me happy.. :-)

thanks in advance,
frank.

Problems with Apt-get dist-upgrade.

2000-07-06 Thread Todd Suess

Howdy Folks,

I tried to do a dist-upgrade about 3 or 4 days ago, and I got the following
messages, which are still happening today.

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  alsa-base libasound1
The following packages have been kept back

blackhole:~#

These files seem to be nowhere to be found in the debian file base, anyone 
else running into this
also?  Apparently the database has the above versions of the files, but the 
files themselves have

been misplaced, etc.
and if I do a apt-get install libasound1 I get the above message about 
alsa-base, so I guess libasound1

is part of alsa-base or something, not really sure what is going on.

Any clues?

Re: problems with apt-get upgrade slink - potato

Try again in a little while.  This sometimes happens.  Make sure to run
apt-get update again first.

problems with apt-get upgrade slink - potato

2000-04-15 Thread Gregory Guthrie

I tried to do a slink-potato
upgrade, 
I put the potato debian site in /etc/apt/sources.list, and let go with


atp-get update -- works
fine...
apt-get dist-upgrade -- problems...

Each time I would only get a few files, but after 15-20 tries, I seem to
have almost everything; 
almost..

But it still seems stuck, some help please?

apt-get suggests: --fix-missing
but then reports that this is an invalid option.

Run update again if that fails find out if you are behind one of those
