Debian :: How To Report An Orphaned Packages

Jul 3, 2010

A) determine if a package is orphaned

B) Report it and to whom

I'm referring to Exaile, which seems to have lost the interest of the maintainters judging by how far behind they are on releases, and lack of any excuses more info on package pages.

Debian :: Lenny 505 LXDE Lists Almost All Packages As Orphaned

Jul 20, 2010

I just installed Lenny 505 LXDE (from the LXDE/XFCE install CD) on an old IBM Thinkpad 600E. It works fine (and fast). However, both apt-get and aptitude tell me that dozens of packages are orphaned, and these packages include essential things, such as the entirety of Openoffice and LXDE. Apt get reminding me that I can purge these packages (and wreck my system), and aptitude wants to remove them before doing anything. How can I force Debian to recognize that these packages were purposefully installed? Aptitude keep-all kind of worked. Autoremove no longer tries to remove the entire system, but deborphan still goes crazy and says all my packages are orphaned.

Debian :: How To Report A Bug In Reportbug

Mar 28, 2011

Is there a way of reporting a bug in reportbug? I was trying to report a bug in another package and everytime I tried to run reportbug, the terminal window would display "Segmentation fault" or if I ran it with the --configure option, a GUI opens up, select Continue, then the screen says "This may take a while...". Well, 20 minutes later, the screen still says "This may take a while" and reportbug is still doing nothing..

Debian Multimedia :: Unable To Get 'report-bug' To Run Without Crashing

Apr 16, 2011

Because I am unable to get "report-bug" to run without crashing, I would like to report a bug in "lxterminal" on Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) running the 486 kernel.When the lxterminal Preferences are changed, they are not saved afterwards (once the application is exited.) I have to change the font size each time, as the default lxterminal screen opens up too small to read.

Debian :: Installing I386 Packages Prompts Removal Of Amd64 Packages

Apr 8, 2015

I am working on a project which targets both 32 and 64 bit architectures at the moment. My system is amd64. I added i386 architecture using this guide. However, my problem is

Code: Select allapt-get install package-name:i386

prompts the removal of currently installed packages (amd64 arch.) which is the problem.

Code: Select allReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libportaudio0:i386

[Code] ...

Some of the packages I am talking about are

-libegl1-mesa-dev:i386
-libportaudio-dev:i386

Now, as of now, I want to carry out the compilation using 32 bit libraries, however, I really don't want to install 64bit version of all prerequisites each time I switch the compilation from 32 bit to 64. Is there any way to have both architectures at the same time?

Debian Configuration :: Dpkg Report No Space Left On /usr With >1GiB Free

Jul 1, 2011

Command "sudo aptitude install oxygen-icon-theme" return following error:

dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/oxygen-icon-theme_4%3a4.6.2-2_all.deb (--unpack):
unable to install new version of `/usr/share/icons/oxygen/22x22/apps/preferences-desktop-default-applications.png': No space left on device

[Code]....

As far as I can see oxygen-icon-theme unpacks only in /usr/share, beyond it I can think of only /tmp, /var or /var/tmp that it may use, all of which have plenty more than those ~40 MiB that it supposed to occupy unpacked. All btrfs filesystems were formatted with "-d single -m single". System is Debian Sid 64-bit with linux-image-3.0.0-rc5-amd64.

why dpkg may have trouble unpacking this package?

Ubuntu :: Remove Or List Orphaned *files*?

Jan 20, 2010

have installed some programs from source and found no trace where and what were installed and I would like to remove those installed files. So I am looking for any script or app to list all orphaned (I mean not related to any installed package) files. I am using Ubuntu Server 9.10 without any fancy X11 stuff so console version is preferred. I have found bitbleach and computer janitor in this forum but they are X11 apps.

Programming :: Find The Orphaned Images Using Grep

Jun 16, 2010

I have inherited a wordpress theme with a folder of images that I think are no longer being used. I wanted to find the orphaned images using grep, so I wrote this script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo $PWD
for i in *.*; do
cd ..

[Code].....

Its seems like I got some false positives out of it, but it worked pretty ok. I guess. :| Of course, it is not checking for images in the content of the database.

Orphan finding has to be a wheel that is already invented.

Ubuntu :: Orphaned Inodes (Each Time The Number Is Different) On EXT4

Dec 28, 2010

Each time I start my Ubuntu 10.10, I notice this messages in dmesg:

[Code]...

Each time the inode number is different. I made SMART tests on the disk, and all went fine. Do I have to worry? Could it be something related to a wrong shutdown? Update: I have just ran an fsck at boot, but when I logged in, the same orphan_cleanup was in dmesg.

Slackware :: Script To Detect Orphaned Libraries - Broken Lib Links - Missing Dependencies

Mar 9, 2010

My recent borked upgrade to -current inspired me to try to come up with a way to sanity-check the lib and bin dirs for broken library symlinks (possibly indicating missing libs) and for binaries and libraries that belong to no installed package, as well as missing dependencies.

This script is the result.

I've checked the script results manually, and it appears to be accurate, so I figured I'd post it here for a second opinion, and/or because others may find it useful too. I'm not aware of another popular method of doing this on Slackware, so here it is:

Debian Installation :: Install All 20,000 Packages Of Debian 5.0.4 9n-newbie?

May 17, 2010

After installing debian 5.0.4 basic from first dvd, I extracted all other dvd images to hard disk and pointed /etc/apt/sources.list point to all these directories.
after refreshing using synaptic package manager, I got list of all 20,000+ packages, and did a
"apt-get -y install ......(all 20,000 names)". It failed due to some conflicts. So I used "--force-yes -f " option as well.

It went on for nearly two days to install everything. (in between due to power failure, something was done half way and was able to login to KDE boot option and see lots of software installed.)
After complete install - it shows a startup screen of Debian EDu - but fails to boot up.

Is there a way to install all softwares + all XWindow systems simultaneously?

Debian :: Download Debian Packages

Jul 17, 2010

I plan to install Debian on a machine that will have no access to the internet but I would like to install some packages in it (such as build-essential). I was thinking of downloading them here and transfer and install them on the other machine at a later time but because of dependencies I don't know what packages I'll need besides of the ones I really want, for example: After the fresh install from the cd, I would like to install build-essential which requires g++, make etc... but is there a way to download all that instead of doing it manually? Since I don't really know when to stop downloading dependencies. I tried aptitude download but it only gives me the meta-package. I also thought of chroot to a fresh system, install the packages and retrieve them from the local folder where they get downloaded but I was looking for something less complicated.

Debian :: Creating Debian Packages

Jan 30, 2010

I am going to start reading about how to create Debian packages. Yet I would appreciate a simple overview about the process.Specifically, I would like to start with something simple: building a package with the Firefox 3.5.7 tar.gz pre-compiled binaries.If I understand correctly, the source files from Debian are modified in some way from the upstream provider, but my little Firefox project is not dealing with sources at all. The binaries are already compiled. So I'll appreciate a simple overview about creating a package from those Firefox binaries.

I realize the Firefox binaries can be installed as is, along with needing to create three sym links. That is not my goal. I figured starting with pre-compiled binaries will be an easier start into the Debian packaging process. Further, I prefer to install software with a package manager as that provides a system that is easier to maintain long-term.I suspect that an aide to my learning would be to extract the Iceweasel package and then draw similarities from that.

Debian :: Downloading Packages With APT?

Jan 10, 2011

APT - it really has me mystified at times so I'm looking for an idiots guide on how to use it. I've googled and read the APT How to on the Debian site, as well as a lot of other APT pages, so I understand what it does and the command structure, but I can't seem to download one off packages from the Debian site.

I've managed to get the updates to work (ran an update the other day) so I know my source file is working (my source.list points to deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main) however I don't understand/can't figure out how to get single packages from Debian.

As an example I want to get the rsynch package which has a download page in Debian and my mirror in the source.list file can be used. However when I do apt-get rsynch I get an error message that says it can't be found.

Looking at the Debian package website it does say that the rsynch package can be requested from the subdirectory of pool/main/r/rsync/ at any one of the listed download sites (of which the site in my source.list file is one of those listed). Do I have to add the pool/main/r/rsync/ information to my sources.list file, or add it to the apt-get command?
