General :: Package Managers Upgrade Packages Like Glibc?
Jul 16, 2011
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?

I somehow landed into this situation (don't really remember how), but no package installation/removal seems to be possible for me. Neither apt-get -f install or autoremove seems to work.
When I do: sudo apt-get -f install I see the following:
- uname -a: Linux konnichiwa 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:53:41 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Jaunty 9.04, Ubuntu)
- Configuring libc6 screen with <yes>, <no> appears.
- Click on <yes>.
- It fails with this error:
Code:
konnichiwa% ruby apt-get install -f
ruby: No such file or directory -- apt-get (LoadError)
konnichiwa% ruby apt-get -f install
ruby: No such file or directory -- apt-get (LoadError)

I notice that these two packages contain the same files and uninstalling glibc-i18n doesn't uninstall the internationalization files, because they are also in the glibc package. Is this a mistake or is this normal or is there a reason for it ? I just made my own glibc package to fix this, but was wondering why this is the way it is...

I am in very much need to resolve the issue of Upgrade redhat5 from glibc 2.5 to glibc 2.7. The problem is when I run a binary compiled on our build setup (glibc 2.11) on Suse 11 (glibc 2.9) it works fine...
But the same binary do not work on redhat enterprise version 5 telling error as need glibc2.7 or sometimes segmentation fault for the same binary execution.
I tried upgrading the redhat glibc 2.5 to glibc 2.7, but not successful.

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.).

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?

My story thus far:I have a working, fairly customized desktop environment running Ubuntu Studio 10.10.Yesterday, I literally wasted the entire day attempting to upgrade to, and then reverting from, Ubuntu Studio 11.04 (never forget to do a grub-install when restoring your system to a previous state from backups).I am not bashing 11.04! That is not the purpose of this thread,although I believe that Unity needs some maturity,and because of this I probably won't upgrade until the next LTS.
What I would like to know is this: Is there a way that I can get the various and sundry upgrade managers to stop telling me about the 11.04 upgrade availability? I'd really like to not see it�I feel somewhat like a Luddite every time I do.

OS : Oracle Enter Prise Linux 6 (equivalent to RedHat)
I am in process to install oracle 10g on said OS.My process fails and after digging up , I came to know that some of the oracle libraries are compiled on 32-bit architecture and it require glibc-32 bit . also it require for gcc-32 bit.
Now i have downloaded all the required rpm for gcc-32bit . when I try to install glibc and its dependencies , it gives me error that newer version already exist.
How can I install , Gcc-32bit(libgc, libstd-i386 etc) in parallel or standalone?

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.

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've been working to get gcc up and running on a new install of Fedora 13. glibc-devel had dependencies upon installation where it required glibc and glibc-common, both 2.12.1-3. No problem, found both at rpm dot pbone dot net. However, when I try to install the following circular dependency results... it doesn't matter the order of install.
Code:
[root AT localhost gcc_install]# rpm -ivh glibc-common-2.12.1-3.x86_64 .rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.12.1-3 is needed by glibc-common-2.12.1-3.x86_64

I made an update of my Centos 5.5 yesterday. In doing so glibc has been updated to glibc.i686. Just now some of my FPGA tools crash. Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade for glibc.i686. How can I replace glibc.i686 by glibc.i386?A simple yum install glibc.i386 conflicts with the files from package glibc-2.5-65.i686
yum list glibc

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed on my laptop.And I am going to install mediaplayer from its "*.deb" file, But it requires a lot of other packages and each of those packages needs others and so on.Since I do not have internet connection on my Ubuntu and my internet connection is in Win XP, so I should download these packages and then check them in my Ubuntu and see what other packages it needs and download them and so on.
It is a very time consuming task. If I could find out what are all the required packages I could download all of them at once and then I could install them by "sudo dpkg -i *".Therefore I am wondering if there is a way to know which packages are the required ones for a typical package, my work would be much more easier.

I need to downgrade glibc due to a broken kernel after a libc6 upgrade attempt. See:[URL]..Especially with the reduced capabilities I have right now (few if any programs are working), how might I go about downgrading glibc to 2.6?

I'm running 10.04 and for several days now I get two packages that are grayed out and do not upgrade in upgrade-manager.
If I use the shell and apt-get I get the following message: The following packages have been kept back: firefox-gnome-support update-manager
The system is functioning well, but these 2 packages just linger as I process probably hundreds of lucid upgraded packages.

Yesterday, I think I did something stupid: I removed kernel-headers, gcc, glibc-devel and glibc-headers. My box is a CentOS 5.4 webserver (it has loads of packages installed, but that was done through Virtualmin config, so it's quite coherent all in all). The thing is that now I need to reinstall at least the headers and glibc, but hey! this is what I get :

I've been reading up on ssh and I don't want anyone to connect to my computer. I am not interested in remote connectivity at all. Should I uninstall ssh? I ran Code: apt-get remove ssh and debian returned "package ssh is not installed. 0 packages removed."
I also looked online and found out about /etc/ssh/ssh_conf but all of the lines on my computer were #'d out. I also added "PermitRootLogin no" at the end. Am I safe from ssh attacks if I don't have ssh? Might be a stupid question but I don't want to fall victim. edit: it seems as though I -do- have openssh-client and openssh-server installed. Should I just leave my ssh config with PermitRootLogin no or apt-get remove openssh-client openssh-server.
