I am triying to configure my official mail ID in Linux el5 OS. So, as I am a newbie I have searched for the same. And found that I can configure through Mozilla Thunderbird...But while installing RPM I am getting below error.
rpm -ivh thunderbird-2.0.0.21-1.el5.centos.src.rpm warning: thunderbird-2.0.0.21-1.el5.centos.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e8562897 1:thunderbird warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
I'm building a RPM package. In my SPEC file, in the "%pre" and "%post" sections, I need to be sure that Postgresql-server is started.I tried to add a "PreReq: /var/run/postmaster*" but the * is not interpreted ! (filename changes, depending on the linux distribution)Is this way test that this file exist (or test if the result of "pidof -s/usr/bin/postmaster" is empty, for example
I'm updating a working kickstart configuration.Got a good iso from it the last time used.I simply want to add 2 rpms to the installation. So I added the rpms (libganglia & libconfuse) into the ../Server directory. I added those two names to the %packages section in the .cfg file. And I added those two names into two new appropriate lines in the ../Server/repodata/comps.xml file.
I ran "createrepo -g repodata/comps.xml ." from the ../Server (rpms) directory. I then ran my "mkisofs" without issue, and used the resulting .iso. The message I get during installation is "You have specified the package 'libganglia' should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to continue or abort your installation?". I've tried several variations of the createrepo command.
when I try to apt-get upgrade system or install a new package in synaptic or terminal, I see this:
Code: dpkg: ../../../lib/dpkg/dump.c:250: w_status: Assertion `pigp->trigpend_head' failed. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly So, before I have a problem - Synaptic opened, told that /var/lib/dpkg/status don't exist, in the web I read that sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/status-old /var/lib/dpkg/
I was trying to install gcc, and it sorta worked, but not really.. Im a student, and we were using an ada server that had 'gcc' already installed, so that we could cd to a directory and then 'gcc -o NAME FILEPATH' I tried to recreate this set up on my machine with Fedora 11... on my mac it is installed automatically and can be accessed from the terminal. How do I do it in Fedora? I downloaded 'gcc-4.6.0', I ran 'configure' from the gcc directory and a lot of text scrolled by really fast.. but then afterwards it said something failed...
but its weird, cuz I can write a simple 'c' program and gcc it from the terminal and it compiles.. it just gives me warnings about everything.. saying that packages like 'cstdio.h' do no exist.. warnings tho, not errors.. and it still runs.
I have a problem when installing this package through synaptic package manager. this is :
libpng12-dev the error is: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...tu2.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80] my distribution is ubuntu 10.4.
I'm experiencing a strange behavior from apt on my Debian 4 etch installation.
Sometime ago I installed XMailServer on it, and so far so good, it is working quite fine and no issue at all here. However since this installation apt got crazy and now each time I install something else it goes and installs xmail again. This creates the issue that everytime I add or remove a package xmail gets unconfigured and I've to delete spool and recreate the domains.
Sort of:
apt-get install somePackage ....regular messages if something else is needed to be downloaded... then installs xmailserver again for no reason at all giving a whole load of "file already exists" errors while rewrite xmail's config.
Already tried apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, purge/remove -> reinstall sequence, delete the .deb package from apt's cache. But still no luck, apt insists into reinstall it everytime I want to install anything else.
I use RHEL 3 , but do not have installed the package for rcp , so now can not receive file via rcp , can advise what package that I need to install for using rcp ?
I am trying to install jdk automatically using kickstart. I have added jdk-6u13-linux-i586.rpm to Server dir (where all rpms exist) and add jdk to %packages section. It always complain jdk is missing. I tried it also with another rpms which are not in the RedHat DVD and it always complatin the the package is missing.
When I use YUM to install ICAClient it ends with the following message "Package ICAClient-11.100-1.i386.rpm is not signed" (see the code below). However, when using browser (Nautilus) to start installation of the same ICAClient-11.100-1.i386.rpm it completes with success (see the image below).
This happens when installing with YUM from the CLI:
A while ago (not sure exactly when) my Synaptic Package Manager, Update Manager, Ubuntu Software Center and apt-get install have not been working. When I try to do apt-get install I get this error

OS: Debian testing Is it possible to instruct apt-get to install only some of the files in a package?.Here is the specific problem I'm facing: I have installed latex using the latex installer from CTAN. Now I'd like to install lyx but when apt-get install lyx reports it will install all the deb latex packages (it seems to be unaware latex is already installed). can I instruct apt-get to install only the lyx files with the extra 300MB or so of latex?.
I was using a 3g iPod nano which was supported by my flavor of Ubuntu . However, recently I have acquired a 4g iPod Touch and to my dismay, it is not supported on my OS. After doing some research, I discovered that Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx supports all the newer generation Apple products, including my 4g iPod Touch. Is there anyway I can install this package without reformatting my computer COMPLETELY over again? Are there any easier ways to be able to sync my ipod with my computer?
I mean like, what does it do differently from just installing something from source? Check to make sure you have the required dependencies before compiling the .tgz package? something else?
I can use KRPMview or midnight commander to see what's in an RPM, fine. I might want to inspect a file inside an RPM or actually install some of its files but this latter might upset already installed files. Or, it is so dependent on something else being previously installed. Therefore I need to install it elsewhere, take a look at he file content and/or copy, it to where I want.
There are options: --badreloc --prefix --relocate --nodeps --ignoreos --force
Some are mutually exclusive but the result is it still tells me - package not relocatable. Is there any other magic incantation or do I need to do some time-consuming backup, run the RPM install and any deps hell, do my intended thing, then another time-consuming restore? Or maybe set up a partition with a suitable suse version and just run the RPM there and then copy over?
I have minimal open suse installed as a server and now i would like to install some packages with zypper and it always download some packages related to X11 and gnome but I want to ignore that.Is it possible some how that I can define a USE flag for that like -X -gnome?
I know it exists for Jaunty, but not Karmic. My question is just simply, how can I download this package, and can I just use Synaptic to install it without any problems? Any detailed documentation about installing "obsolete" packages and their dependencies? Perhaps is there some way to get my system to emulate Jaunty, I can install the package, then go back to Karmic?
for some reason my system crashed while installing a package. Now I get this error every time I install/remove a package. I have tried re-installing, removing, forcing options, 'dpkg --configure -a', dpkg-reconfigure. Nothing has worked.
Initially the sound was working fine in my ubuntu 10.04 lucid. Headphone jack was not working. I downloaded and installed following packages in order to upgrade alsa. alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 alsa-firmware-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 alsa-lib-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2 alsa-utils-1.0.15rc1.tar.bz2 Now there is no sound. Whole system is fried. I don't know what happened.
