General :: Compile Programs And Their Dependencies Manually Or Are Package Managers The Only Way?
May 29, 2010
Is there an easier way (without using a package manager) to upgrade programs? For example, I just want to upgrade Amarok. In order to do this, I've had to upgrade every one of it's dependencies because they've all had minor upgrades from the versions I already have installed.
Is there an easier way to compile programs and their dependencies manually or are package managers the only way?

I have packer installed for AUR packages, but I want to be able to use the pacman command for both. I think I will need a function for this -- what I mean is that whenever I use pacman, it will try using packer and if that fails (invalid option) it will use pacman-color. It could also decide which program to use based on the arguments. I can't just use packer (alias pacman='sudo packer') because packer doesn't have some options like -R to remove packages. I want to always use it to install and upgrade packages however, because It can install from the default repositories as well as AUR.
Does someone know how to accomplish this, or could point me in the right direction? I'm new to bash scripting. error (e.g. pacman -V prints packer: Option '-V' is not valid.).

I've been looking further into Linux from Scratch, and I am particularly interested in the package management side of the system. I understand that this is not covered in the book, but if I were to attempt LFS, package management would be a major convenience. From what I have read, when upgrading packages like glibc, you have to recompile everything to reflect the change.
If that is true, how do package managers like pacman and apt get around this issue? Isn't lacking glibc for even the time it takes to replace the files catastrophic to the system?

All my package managers are crashing. I will try to start them up, they will begin loading, and then will crash. The problem began with the Update Manager putting up the red circle error icon that says: "An error has occured, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."
The recommended fix for this looks to be on this post that I got from LaunchPad: [url]
It says to: "Open the Synaptic package manager. System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager
If anything is broken it will tell you.Choose 'Custom' from the buttons at the bottom then click on 'Broken'
Right click on the offending package and choose to remove it."
Unfortunately, Synaptic won't open.

dpkg -i package.deb
Doesn't install package if it has not-installed dependencies.
What parameters do I miss to install that package with its dependencies from repository?

I have jdk.rpm.bin package. When I run the command ./jdk.rpm.bin it extracts and automatically installs the package. I want to extract rpm package only and to install rpm myself not automatically.

I have been using kubuntu 10.04 for a while now and its working great. The main problem is that as far as I know it lacks a simplified package manager like ubuntu software center. Kpackagekit is fine as a synaptic replacement but searching for programs among all sorts of unrelated packages is very tiring. Are there any other options?

I am working on a project that sets up packages on the cloud.
For example, If i want to setup Drupal, i need seperate machines to maintain separate tasks, like mysql in one machine(cloud instance/node 1), apache server in another machine(cloud instance/node 2), etc.
So if drupal.rpm has dependencies apache.rpm(has deps too) and mysql.rpm(has deps too)
Is it possible in rpm package manager(yum) to handle such customizations & above requirement?

Desperation has set in and hence you get to view a thread with this title. I think the title explains it all. Or, what can be done when packages are no longer available through the repository but installing them from RMP is boarder line crazy.

I have a linux system set up. Very minimal. I have a compiler and I need to compile xlib and all its dependencies so that I can use it. I don't have any type of package management system because it is an embedded application. So I need to know what all I need to build before xlib. Assume that I only have the core utils and gcc. Please don't tell me to download binaries, I cant do that, it wont work. Unless you have armeb binaries for me.

To help configure find the right version set WX_CONFIG to point to it. wxWidgets 2.5.x and 2.6.x are NOT supported! But I thought I installed widgets 2.4?

I want to build a package from source using src2pkg, but I don't know how to avoid library miss match. Suppose I have Firefox 3.5.2 on Slackware 13.0 64 and I want to upgrade it to 3.6.2. Last time when I venturesomely installed Firefox-3.6.2-current into my Slackware 13.0, I got library miss match. Thus, instead of upgrading the whole packages to current (which is impractical and cumbersome), I want to build 3.6.2 from source. How can I do this? Is there any guideline how to use src2pkg? Or should I rather use makepkg? Do I need to create a Makefile?

I've recently got this error coming up when I try to install things via yum through the terminal. It happens when I try to install *anything* at all. I'm running 32bit Fedora 14, although my laptop is 64 bit.
I think the error may have occurred a while back when trying to upgrade to fedora 15 running 64 bit, although I'm not sure exactly what I did then
Quote:
I have tried running "rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest" and I just get this error again.
