Dependency problem with apache_1.3.3-6

I installed apache from slink on Sunday, and the package apache_1.3.3-6 seems to require apache-common_1.3.4, rather than 1.3.3. It's easy to find -- but it's in potato, not in slink. It's probably just a typo which has slipped into the .deb, rather than an actual dependency on version 1.3.4. Pe

HELP!! SparcClassic doesn't boot via tftp!

1999-02-16 Thread Alexander Shumakovitch
Hello all! I'm now trying to make my first Debian Sparc installation and I'm stuck at the very first stage: I can't boot! When I do "boot net" I get (after some "Boot device:" crap) "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet", then some incremental counter which stops at about 84000 (every time the diff

Missing Sparc packages in the last packages

1999-02-16 Thread Stephane Bortzmeyer
In the last Packages file for Sparc (Feb. 14th): xlib6g depends on xbase, which is probably wrong (xbase is just a compatibility package because of the great X reorganization, no one should depend on it). It happens only on the Sparc. Mozilla does not appear. Th
