I have some question about package manual installation - time by time I am facing up with some circle dependances issue: 2 packages could be dependent by each other (f.e. pearl or odbc), so error comes when you try to install it with dpkg -i option, so I would like to know how to install this packages together?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to install Debian (Stable) from a business net install disc. The problem? I can't load/install the packages I need to connect to my USB 3G modem. When I load up a shell (tty2?), I'm brought to an 'ash' prompt, and there's no DPKG for me to load the necessary packages.
how I can do a total net install, including the base, from an USB 3G modem? Actually, I'm very surprised that current Linux distros don't seem to include support, for this growing market share type of internet connection.
I was triyng to install Debian on a AMD K6-2. I use debootstrap, and installed Lenny, with a kernel linux-image-2.6.26-2-486.
After that apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and I get:
The following packages will be upgraded:
Since release 150, udev requires that support for the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED feature is disabled in the running kernel.
Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file. There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you 0understand what you are doing!

I want to install gcc on my Pyramid linux which is debian based. I downloaded gcc.deb. When I want to install this file, it gives me "dpkg command not found" error! I also get this error when I want to install other .deb files using dpkg command " dpkg -i finename.deb. I did some research and it seams that I should install package on my system, but package file is .deb file and I can't install .deb file! What should I do to solve the problem??? Should I install any thing on my system to install .deb files??

I have been trying to change to mdm from the default lightdm display manager. I have downloaded and installed mdm (apt-get install mdm) but when I run dpkg-reconfigure mdm nothing happens. As I understand it, I should get a menu that lets me choose which display manager to use.
I also installed lirc so I could get my IR remote working again, but when I run dpkg-reconfigure lirc nothing happens. I am supposed to get a menu with various options to choose from.
I have tried dpkg-reconfigure debconf and this gives me the menu with different options to choose, like it should when trying dpkg-reconfigure lirc or dpkg-reconfigure mdm. I tried using dpkg-reconfigure debconf to choose different settings, such as gnome, or editor, but they don't work either.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am creating an openSUSE 11.2 Kiosk image. I have everything pretty much locked down but when I go into the gconf-editor under /apps/nautilius/preferences/show_desktop and uncheck the check box my mouse pointer changes to the circle icon that looks like it moves in a circle. Sortta like the busy or what it does during boot. Hard to describe by typing it out but if you make that change you'll see what I am talking about. I had this setup like this in previous versions of openSUSE so I am not sure what it is doing or what else I need to do to make the mouse pointer just the arrow like normally. I don't want the users to be able to right-click on the desktops to get a menu nor add icons so unchecking the show_desktop has served my needs.

I installed the software Ubuntu Tweak yesterday and I was satisfied of how it worked. today, surfing the internet I was hoping to find a solution to a couple of problems that I have: the computer sometimes get stuck when opening videos or photos - I can't see streaming TV. when the internet browser was asking me to install plug-in in order to show the videos I tried to install them but errors occurred.
so I followed the instruction in [URL] (many of these things didn't work and the terminal was showing error messages...) now after rebooting I have got the unity 2D I think (which is fine as I can't notice great differences) but I can't install the updates from Ubuntu Tweak the error message is: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I'm trying to build Qt using dpkg-buildpackage. Briefly, the problem I have consists in that using dpkg-buildpackage I get a linking error, that I don't get if I run configure and make directly, without the mediation of dpkg-buildpackage. One of the issues that we have is that, using dpkg-buildpackage, the configure command is not capable of finding the .qmake.cache file, so, the environment variables set in the configure script and saved in that file are not read, which causes that the apropiate linking parameters are not used. I guess that the problem is caused by a difference in the environment of execution of the configure command. I don't know in which way the dpkg-buildpackage is changing the environment so that it makes fail the building process.
I run 'make deb-x11' to start building process using dpkg-buildpackage: This is the main Makefile:

I tend to use commands like 'aptitude search $something' or 'dpkg -S /usr/bin/command' (some command/variable in both) or 'apt-file search $something' and all/or many of its brethen. I do run updatedb every now and then but that command is for the overall health of the system similar to tracker perhaps (but not running continously like tracker and the daemon).
What I'm looking for is, if there is a way to get the package list (installed and otherwise) updated aggressively so that whenever I use any combination of aptitude or dpkg I get better response from the system. From what little I understand, aptitude or dpkg or somewhere there would be some sort of index/database where the current state of package availability and system state would be recorded. If there is a way that this could be improved upon would be nice to know. If there is some experimental package or road which the debian folks are looking for in the future so this latency can come down.
