Debian :: Apt-list Differences Not Found - Getting Message On Aptitude
Nov 13, 2015
I'm getting the following message when attempting to install or upgrade a package. Not sure if it's a bug or not, which is why I'm hesitating to file it as a bug.
For example (note line /bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/apt-listdifferences: not found):
Code: Select alldebian@Debian:~$ sudo aptitude install angband zangband moria
The following NEW packages will be installed:
angband angband-data{a} moria zangband zangband-data{a}
0 packages upgraded, 5 newly installed, 0 to remove and 49 not upgraded.
Need to get 5,240 kB of archives. After unpacking 13.0 MB will be used.

Can I keep the old 32bit_testing /home with all the hidden directories there when moving to 64bit_testing?
Is there a way to export a list of all installed packages in aptitude or synaptic, so that when reinstalling, it can be easily imported? (reinstalling the same system)

I am trying to upgrade an amd64 lenny system to squeeze.I've got a 2.6.32 kernel running, done aptitude update and aptitude install aptitude.When I try "aptitude safe-upgrade", it sits forever resolving dependencies.it seems to search with the resolver counting up more and more open/conflict/ whatever.I stopped it once it got over 100,000)Is it possible to get aptitude to do a safe-upgrade, perhaps using a command line option?

Well it didn't go smoothly for me. After downloading over 1,6Gb (!) of that new Debian version and restarting I was 'greeted' by a dreaded CLI instead of gnome. To make matters worse I got "command aptitude not found".
'apt-get' still worked.
Anyway, if you're gonna update check dependencies first. It seems I lost gnome due to gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs. So first uninstall that package if you got it.

KMail 1.11.4, KDE 4.2.4: I'm migrating from WinXP to Mandriva, and installed KMail at the weekend. Works fine, but I have a niggle - the message list displays headers grouped by month order. I'd like the option of having a simple list (no groups), and suspect that it could be done - but I haven't been able to find out how. I've checked in the Handbook without success, and a search in LQ hasn't turned up anything yet.Any suggestions gratefully received. If this isn't the right place for a KMail query,

I am using debian on kernel 2.6.38-2-amd64 with Kde 4 and I have one sound card integrated on my mother board (Asus A8N32-Sli Deluxe) with Nvidia CK804.
Often when I start debian I get a message that sound card wasn't found, therefore from the Konsole I have to reload the as:
xxxx@debian:~$ sudo alsa reload
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-intel8x0 snd-ac97-codec snd-mpu401 snd-gina20 snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-mpu401-uart snd-pcm snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-rawmidi snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device snd-page-alloc.

I have just installed Debian 8 with Gnome desktop and trying to add my username to sudoers list.
When I open terminal and enter visudo I get the following error message...
Code: Select allfracmo2000@debian:~$ su
Password:
root@debian:/home/fracmo2000# visudo
bash: visudo: command not found
root@debian:/home/fracmo2000#
Although I am quite new to debian, I have done this successfully in the past so not sure why this is happening?

I'm brand new to debian and quite new to unix based systems in general.
I just switched to debian from ubuntu in search of something different and I want to find a system that works for me before I settle down.
I DO NOT HAVE A SECONDARY OS
just two problems I have with debian:
No sound
Error message: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
When I try to open sound from the speaker icon at top right.
I think it's a driver issue but Its not as easy as ubuntu was lspci:
My trackpad also does not work so I have to open documents manually if I don't bring my mouse to class.

trying to get wine working was reading the tutorial-
"Complete Guide to Using Wine from the Command Line (Ubuntu)" first thing it said to do for ubuntu user's was this-
"Before I continue with my rant about gaming on Linux I would like to point out right now that the very first thing you should do when you install your ubuntu set up is to run the following:
Code:
user@ubuntu$ sudo aptitude update
user@ubuntu$ sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
but when i try and run in the terminal i get "command not found".

I recently switched back to ubuntu after a year of gaming on w7, however I think that this time I'm going to stick to ubuntu, if she doesnt screw me like she has the previous times. Anyways, I was just wondering what media players you guys favor, and why? (maybe there doesn't have to be a reason xD), and I tried to install beep media player with:
sudo aptitude install beep-media-player
And the return is: sudo: aptitude: command not found

I got a message from Paypal (no not a scam) that said "It looks like you may be using an outdated browser with known security issues."
I am assuming it is because it may not recognize iceweasel, paypal does recommend firefox and iceweasel is based on firefox... but it may not be the same..
anyone gone through this?
What are the differences between iceweasel and firefox?

I am trying to delete some files to make space. But, I made the mistake of 'moving to the trash bin Whoops Doing this in Debian requires running through hoops trying to find files that went into a black hole. In Ubuntu, I move it to the Trash bin.I empty the trash bin and I'M DONE. REPEAT: I'M THEN DONE. Why, why, why, make it so hard? If I should do it a different way, how should I delete files so that they are GONE so that I can free up some disk space? I don't know where the files went now and when I run 'df -h', it shows exactly the same before I 'deleted' the files. I assume they exist someplace.
I then tried:
rm -fr /home/username/.Trash
Checking again using 'df -h' shows no change. I'm confused. Please help and excuse my frustration. I guess I'm still too raw as I don't do these tasks very often. I have to do some major copying soon, though, as I want to copy many many files from my home partition to an external drive. I hope I can receive some help/support for that if I have trouble. Also, please suggest some steps for freeing up disk space from moving/copying files to another drive to deleting files. I recall there are some commands that might delete temp files, too (disk 'clean' type?).

Just to set the scene, I'm not a Linux expert, but am learning the hard way! I have a 6 server cluster that needs upgrading (this includes quite a few of our own packages), and am currently working on a spare server. Lenny is now installed, and my next problem is that libapache-template-perl doesn't seem to exist in Lenny. So, is there a definitive list of 'replacement' packages, if not what can I do about this one.

I'm running Debian testing, and when I boot up my netbook, I see in the GRUB menu that there is Linux kernel 2.6.32-trunk-686, Linux kernel 2.6.32-5-686, and Linux kernel 2.6.32-3-686..
What is the different between the three? Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 is at the top of the list and that's what I let load first.

When you view mail in evolution in the vertical mode with the folders on the left, then the mail list in the middle and the message on the right, the mail list displays each message on two rows. But in thunderbird, the mail list is just in one row which means that much of the message header is not visible.
how to get thunderbird to display message lists using two rows per message?

I'm fairly new to debian, but not to Linux overall. And it seems that I can not install anything using the "apt-get" or "aptitude" commands. Here is what it says when I try to install synaptic:
apt-get install synaptic
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package synaptic is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.
E: Package synaptic has no installation candidate

From what I understand aptitude and apt-get are both valid package management tools and it should not matter which one you use (of course the user interface is different, but the basic functionality is the same). I found something which makes me believe there are differences: I ran aptitude install gnome-themes-more and it did nothing because the package was already installed. Then I ran apt-get install gnome-themes-more just to see the difference, and it also did not install anything, but it marked the package as manually installed.
The I ran again apt-get install gnome-themes-more and this time the package was not marked as manually install (obviously because it's already marked). This makes me believe that aptitude did not mark my package as manually installed (I would have pasted the command output as well, but I don't have it anymore). So, is the core functionality of those tools the same or not?
I used until now apt-get and wonder if I should have used aptitude. I have found some wikis which recommend the usage of aptitude but I could not find out if this reccomendation is based only on the UI improvements or are there also improvements in the core functionality. I'd like some hints from more seasoned debianers about which one to use, or whether it matters. I'm maily using command line, so user interface is not an issue,

I'm using Debian Testing (I know it doesn't happen in Stable)
Words isn't required here. I'll show examples:
# aptitude dist-upgrade
Code: Select allThe following NEW packages will be installed:

Why apt-get can while aptitude can't?
I've searched on web, and all I can tell is that aptitude is "safer" than apt-get because it taking account the packages on hold.
But I don't have any package on hold! (I've tested dpkg --get-selections | grep hold)

How to find packages with aptitude. If I use the shell to type "aptitude search nethack" then I get a list of several nethack versions from which to choose. If I use the aptitude GUI and type Ctrl-T and then arrow over to the search option and type in "nethack" and hit Enter, the only option that I see is nethack-spoilers. Why do I not see all of the other nethack options?

Just today saw that for some reason aptitude seems broken. Dunno the reason. I don't know if its do with aptitude or some other update which introduced the issue. The issue is simple.
Before I could do something like $sudo aptitude purge linux-image [TAB]
Putting down the tab it would autocomplete or/and give other options if there were multiple options (it would do some kinda grep)
Now after the update of aptitude few days ago and other things I get something like this : sudo aptitude purge linux-image [TAB]grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:14651: expected a colon

Running testing
There were some grave bugs being showed by listbugs for apt dpkg etc
So ran aptitude hold for these buggy packages and upgraded others
Now unable to 'unhold' dpkg. ie
synaptic shows it as 1.17.13 both installed and latest and no upgradation possible
[URL] .... shows it as 1.17.23
Code: Select all# aptitude dist-upgrade
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dpkg:i386{ab} libbz2-1.0:i386{a} libjpeg62-turbo:i386{a} libsystemd0:i386{a}
some other stuff
Code: Select allThe following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg : Conflicts: dpkg:i386 but 1.17.23 is to be installed.
dpkg:i386 : Conflicts: dpkg but 1.17.13 is installed.
So I can only conclude that aptitude sees the need to upgrade from .13 to .23 but for some reason it cant 'get out' of the installed dpkg:amd64

I've been trying to use aptitude for package management, but nothing happens in response to my commands, even as root.
Let's say for example I want to purge popcon. According to the helpfile, I should start aptitude, become root (or vice-versa), select the package in the list and press '_' (underscore), and then it will be marked with something in the left column and a different color in the list. Then later, another command will actually do the purge.
But nothing happens. It doesn't get marked or change color or anything, and 'g' just gets the message 'No packages are scheduled to be installed, removed, or upgraded.'
What am i doing incorrectly?
