Debian :: Rolling Back A Package Version

Feb 11, 2011

I added a PPA repository to my sources list in order to install a package. After a day, i decided i didn't like the software, so i uninstalled it & removed the PPA from my sources list. Everything is still working just fine.

However, Synaptic is telling me that there is a "local or obsolete" package left over from the software i had originally installed. I can't remove the package because it is something that my entire desktop depends on (in Synaptic Package Manager, when i mark it for "Complete Removal," or even just "Removal," it says that pretty much everything else will be removed with it).The package i would like to "roll back" is libgtk2.0-common (2.24.0-1.1). although i had originally got this from a PPA, a very close version is available on Debian experimental here, which is version (2.24.0-1).

Debian :: Rolling Grub2 Back To Grub On Jessie (8)

Sep 2, 2015

I'm trying to run 'grub-install /dev/sda', it stays stuck on 'Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub' after leaving it for an hour, nothing happens. I have tried removing all Grub related packages and installing grub-legacy several times, to no avail.

The machine is quite an old one and is an offline sandbox for a friends kid who likes to tinker with older OSes. The hard disk has failed in it so I have donated an old drive to get the machine back up and running for him, as the menu.lst is a lot easier to modify than the newer grub.cfg, he would like the older grub back.

I've done a few searches particular for Debian 8, but the closest I can find is for Ubuntu here, [URL] ....

I have tried to use both the grub rescue disk and the command line listed in the link above.

Ubuntu Installation :: Rolling Back GUI On Server 8.04 LTS?

Mar 25, 2010

I, someday in my life, tried to add GUI to my installation of ubuntu server 8.04 LTS (don't ask me why, ). The problem is, I gave up before the instalation had finished, and some packages became broken. Now, everytime I try to install a new package, aptitude forces me to also install the dependencies of the previously "installed" packages, like abiword, xinit and so on.

The worst part: I don't remember what package I used to try this installation (x-window-system-core, gnome, gnome-core, {k,x,}ubuntu-desktop...).

Does anybody have any suggestions??? I must fix this as soon as possible, because this server is already at production...

The output from aptitude is listed below (just the list of suggested [imposed] packages):

Code:
The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:
abiword abiword-common abiword-help abiword-plugins aspell aspell-en
dictionaries-common doc-base docbook-xml dvipdfmx gnome-icon-theme

[Code].....

Fedora :: VLC Media Player - 14 - Rolling Back To V.13 Without Losing My Configurations

May 2, 2011

Before upgrading from Fedora 13 to v.14, VLC Media Player (v1.1.9) worked perfectly. But under Fedora 14, when I try to use it to play .AVI files that played perfectly under Fedora 13 (with the same hardware), VLC opens, stalls for a second, then closes. I've tried several files -- all of which play under Movie Player (and DID play on VLC under Fedora 13), so I know the files themselves are valid. I'd like either to have VLC work under Fedora 14, or revert back to Fedora 13 and permanently block any future upgrade to 14. easy way of rolling back to v.13 without losing my configurations or any of my installed software? Would using a Fedora 13 CD do it?

Debian :: How To Fix Python-libtorrent Kept Back Package On Wheezy

Oct 11, 2015

I'm currently running Debian Wheezy (upgrading to Jessie is not possible since I'm using OpenMediaVault which only supports Wheezy) but ever since I installed Deluge BitTorrent client that I've had this python-libtorrent package as "kept back". I'd like to fix this system state but how...

A few things I've tried:

Code: Select all$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done

The following packages have been kept back:
  python-libtorrent
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

Code: Select all~$ sudo apt-get install python-libtorrent
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

[Code] .....

I have the following APT repositories on my sources which I believe are causing my problem:

Code: Select alldeb http://dh2k.omv-extras.org/debian/ stoneburner-miller main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ppa/ubuntu precise main

They were added through OpenMediaVault's interface when I enabled some checkboxes to be able to install Deluge.

Debian :: Screen Rolling When Run Live CD

Nov 19, 2015

I've been using Xubuntu consistently as my main and only distro for some time now and I'm considering coming over to Debian. My question is about the screen rolling when I run the live CD. I'll scroll with the mouse wheel on my desktop and if I scroll one way with a browser window open, for example, the entire browser toolbar area scrolls away, and scrolling the other brings back the browser toolbar area but then hides the panel. I've only run the live CD, not installed, and I use one panel on the bottom. The times I've tried the latest Debian I've deleted the stock bottom launcer panel then moved the top panel to the bottom as I traditionally do in Xubuntu. Is what I'm describing a feature ? Either way can this scroll effect be disabled ? This isn't how I would like my desktop to behave, and I'd like to try out a full install.

Debian :: Cyclical Vs Rolling Release - Testing Vs Sid

Jan 16, 2011

I want to use a rolling release. I have distro hopped and know I want Debian (not a derivative like LMDE) and a rolling release. Is testing updated so you never have to do an upgrade or re-install when a new version is out? Or, do you have to add Sid Repos to never do another re-install when new version comes out?

Programming :: RPM: Package Requires Old Version Of Same Package?

Nov 22, 2010

I'm building a certain RPM package that must require an old version of that same package in order to be installed/upgraded. Is this possible?

For example:

For a package foo v5, somewhere in the spec file:
"Requires: foo >= 4"

I'm declaring this on the Requires tag of the spec file, but when I try to install or upgrade the package (without having the previous required version installed) I get no dependency error! As for other dependencies it all works fine. If, instead, I create a package named "bar" that "Requires: foo >= 4", when installing I do get the expected dependency error. I'm thinking it's not possible to require an old version of the same package.

Fedora Installation :: Kernel-devel Package With Version Between The Fedora And Update Repo Version

Sep 11, 2009

I have a fedora 11 with kernel package: kernel-PAE-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i686

I would like to install the devel package for this kernel version, but I can't find it, because in the fedora repo there is only the original kernel (2.6.29.4....) and in the updates repo there is only the newest kernel package (2.6.30....)

Where can I find the packages which are between the fedora and update repos' versions?

Ubuntu :: Get The "package Maintainer's Version" Of Grub (chose Local Version!)

Jul 23, 2010

I chose the local version of grub when prompted on the last update. However, after doing a bit of reading, it looks like I should have selected the "package maintainer's version" .

I've looked at the release notes [URL] related to grub and changing the menu.lst. However, when I open the menu.lst per the instructions, it is blank (the file opens but there is no text in it). I also ran the sudo update-grub command but was never prompted to choose a the local version or maintainer's version.

Is there a way to go back and get back to the prompt to select the ""package maintainer's version"?

Ubuntu :: Install Package Meant For Older Version Of Ubuntu On Newer Version?

Jan 22, 2011

Specifically, I want Clementine player 0.6, but the guy that installed Ubuntu on my laptop put natty narwhal alpha 1 on it (don't ask me why. I wanted maverick since its stable but he never really asked. The whole thing was kinda a surprise), and Clementine only offers downloads for Ubuntu distros up to maverick. So. Can I/is there a way I can install it anyway? Or am I forced to just use Banshee until the official Update comes out and Clementine is updated in....

Debian Hardware :: Use The I386 Version On Computer Rather Than The I686 Version?

Feb 25, 2011

I installed debian squeeze on an old computer that I found. (Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT) I installed from the i386 version, but now the uname command shows that its an i686. I don't find many packages that I need using apt-get. Do I need to compile each package I need from source or use dpkg to install the deb of an i386 version?

Can I use the i386 version on this computer rather than the i686 version? Will it cause a signifncant performance decreaes? (I use this computer to mostly do some reading and writing and file storage, no gaming etc.) How do I force the installer to use the i386 version?

Ubuntu :: Downgrade A Certain Package Back To Karmic?

May 4, 2010

I've updated from 9.10 to 10.04 but unfortunately the PHP provided with 10.04 is not yet supported by zend optimizer. As far as I understand I need to somehow replace the PHP 5.3 package provided under 10.04 with an older PHP 5.2 package provided under 9.10. However I am not sure whether this is the right way to downgrade PHP and if yes, I don't know how to replace the 10.04 package with 9.10 package.

Debian :: Difference Between Kernel Version And Backport Version

Sometimes a kernel image seems to have the same version as the backported kernel image, for example:

What are the differences between the two?

OpenSUSE :: Zypper R - Best Version Of Package

Jul 5, 2010

I installed R using zypper some time back, but then I read that I should have used a specific repository called Rpatched. So (note order) I added the repository, then remove R (called R-base) and then proceeded to install the package. Clearly in my repository list there is more than one source of R. Should I have removed the package first and then add the new repository? How in fact does zypper deal with different repositories when they all have the same package? I expect it might choose the most recent version. But what happens when the packages are patched? How does it determine the best version of the package to use?

Ubuntu :: Twiki Package In Version 10.04?

May 3, 2010

After upgrading to 10.04 I cannot find the twiki package in the repositories. Was the twiki package removed permanently from ubuntu 10.04, or has it just not yet become available in 10.04? If it is permanently deleted, is there a migration path in 10.04 for former twiki users? If it is to become available in 10.04 later, is there an ETA for that?

Ubuntu :: DEB Package Version Comes Out Wrong

Oct 6, 2010

While trying to get a new revision of ntfs-3g packaged for my OS (2010.10.02) i've run into an odd issue. I pulled the ntfs-3g sources, and got the package sources for the ntfs3g debs (apt-get source ntfs3g).I pulled the <src dir>/debian directory into the new sources, went into <new src dir>/debian/<package names>/DEBIAN and altered the versions in the control files to reflect the current version. However, during dpkg-build, the versions revert to the original package version which is 2010.03.06. When these debs get installed, apt-get update thinks that despite both the version of the installed package, and the version of the upstream package being the same, that it should replace the one i made with the upstream.

Ubuntu Installation :: Multiple Version Of Same Package?

May 10, 2010

I have (after upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04) several packages who are installed with multiple versions.

e.g. Python

dpkg -l | grep python2
ii libpython2.6 2.6.5-1ubuntu6 Shared Python runtime library

[code]....

I guess I only need the newest one .. The other ones have status "RC" Or am I wrong here, and do I need to keep these old versions ?So how do I get rid off 2.4 and 2.5 and just keep version 2.6.How can I easily remove these "old" packages. I tried aptitude purge, aptitude clean, aptitude autoclean. But they don't do the trick.I am looking for an easy way, because python is only an example. Else I could just delete them be using their name.... (of course)
