[Bug 124895] Re: coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command
On my jaunty system findutils pre-depends on libc6 and libc6 has a
dependency on findutils. So yes, for me the issue still exists, but
this may not affect typical use of the package. I have worked around it
for my purposes by writing a function that modifies the findutils binary
package before attempting to install it into the build environment.
removePreDependsFromFindutils flags deb outputDir =
when (isPrefixOf "findutils_" debName)
(hPutStrLn stderr ("Removing Pre-Depends from " ++ deb) >>
vSystem ("dpkg -x " ++ deb ++ " " ++ tmp) >>
vSystem ("dpkg -e " ++ deb ++ " " ++ tmp ++ "/DEBIAN") >>
vSystem ("sed --in-place 's/Pre-Depends:/Depends:/' " ++ tmp ++
"/DEBIAN/control") >>
vSystem ("dpkg -b " ++ tmp ++ " " ++ deb) >>
vSystem ("rm -f " ++ outputDir ++ "/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin " ++
outputDir ++ "/var/cache/apt/srcpkgcache.bin") >>
return ())
where
vSystem s = hPutStrLn stderr ("# " ++ s) >> system s
(archiveDir, debName) = splitFileName deb
tmp = fromJust (lookup "Temp-Dir" flags) ++ "/unpack"

[Bug 124895] Re: coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command
Hi Shirish, Let's see. What I meat was that: 1) Just erased by command line all what was copied in the cache directory (or moved all that stuff somewhere else). 2) Retried the command that was causing me troubles. 3) After failing, nevertheless, I saw that on the caché directory there were only files related to the stuff I was trying to install. Which seemed to be there because the last (failed) install copied them. Your problem seems to be another thing by now: dpkg: unable to access dpkg status area: Read-only file system Don't know for sure, maybe some lock was kept inappropriately (canceled some process?) or some "read-only" configuration is being used (be it a CD-ROM or because a "safe boot" mode).

[Bug 124895] Re: coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command
I believe I've solved it. After cleaning apt-get's cache, I tried one more time without good results; but with that I generated a "clean" cache (ie only with the debs I was needing). Then did cd /var/cache/apt/archives and then sudo dpkg --force-depends --install libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb findutils_4.4.0-2ubuntu3_i386.deb of course the specific package names may differ. Later on, I continued with Synaptic to fulfill the CMake's installation, some non-conflicting packages remained to be installed. What seems to be neccesary is the "force-depends"; and also probably (I didn't actually the specific combination) to indicate both packages simultaneously. I also tried before "ignore-depends" (with the names of the packages) but it didn't work.

Hi, I'm having the same problem: > E: Couldn't configure pre-depend libc6 for findutils, probably a dependency cycle. Is there any way to bypass the problem? So as to install'em separately? It prompted when I tried to upgrade from CMake 2.4 to 2.6. In particular, I'm using Gutsy; and that newer version of CMake it's only in intrepid's repositories. So I had to configure'em in synaptic. I checked some forums with no much luck. I did as said in http://sudan.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=972906 and installed libstdc++6, but it's the same; because when trying to install CMake the same dependencies chain triggers and so the problem arises again. In http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-905780.html it's said that it may be due conflicting repositories, and so I proceeded to clean apt-get cache and configure only intrepid's repos. No luck so far.

[Bug 124895] Re: coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command
findutils has always had a pre-depends on libc6. However, until Intrepid libc6 did not have a dependency on findutils. Now that it does, it is not possible to use apt-get to go from the state of neither libc6 nor findutils being installed to the state where either or both is installed. Findutils can't be installed because libc6 isn't already installed, and libc6 can't be installed because its dependency findutils is uninstallable. -- coreutils and debianutils dependency cycle on reinstall command https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/124895 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
