whether the command-line tool "mysql" comes with mysql-server or mysql-client (I installed both at once, so I have no idea). It occurs to me that this is a good opportunity to learn more about linux package management.
I've tried saying "dpkg -L mysql-server", but it only lists the files in /usr/share/docs files for some reason. I'm sure there's got to be files elsewhere. Am I way off base?
When i try installing anything i get errors, for example when i try to install somthing from ubuntu software center i get this.
Code: installArchives() failed: Preconfiguring packages ... Preconfiguring packages ... Selecting previously deselected package ttf-symbol-replacement. (Reading database ... dpkg: warning: files list file for package `libsdl-image1.2' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

I'm pretty sure that I have some unneeded files laying around on my system. Most of them are created with "make install" command.
To remove them, I need to get list of files which are not owned by any package. How can I do that?
There is a way in Arch Linux: [URL]

sudo apt-get upgrade

I'm new to GNU/Linux and recently installed Edubuntu 10.10 beta on a workplace computer. I'm currently a technology intern at a public school and want to install Edubuntu on some older computers here. I am working behind a network proxy provided by the department of education.I tried to install flashplugin-nonfree and noticed I didn't have a full package list. After running sudo apt-get update I get the error "unable to connect to[url]....
I'm thinking this might have to do with the network proxy, but for some reason I'm able to browse http:[url]... just fine in Firefox.How do I update the package list?
Edit: I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on another machine at work and it has the same issue, i.e. I can't update the package list.
Edit 2: I am using a .pac file for the proxy.
For the last 10 days, whenever I try to update my packages, it fails with the following error messages:

I get this message when automatic update runs: Apt Authentication issue Problem during package list update. The package list update failed with a authentication failure. This usually happens behind a network proxy server. Please try to click on the "Run this action now" button to correct the problem or update the list manually by running Update Manager and clicking on "Check". When I click "Run this action now" It comes back with a whole list of items that can't be updated for various reasons

I'm experiencing a strange issue with my Ubuntu 10.10 since a few days:when trying to update the packages list, a lot of repositories are ignored.Here is the output of

How come all these repositories cannot be hit?is there any way to make the update hit there repositories? And if they're useless, no longer supported, how can I remove them so to have a tidy repositories list?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know why I can't get listed the installed and not installed packages in the "Add and Remove Software" utility in Fedora 11 with KDE Desktop. I have already used it with no problems, but for some reasons I had to reinstall the system, and I got this problem since then. So, I can't remove packages because the list is empty (picture attached), and for the same reason I can't add new sofware from the Installation DVD.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhile trying to install a package using gpk-application ("Add/Remove Software" under System Tools), I accidentally checked the "Do not show this message again" checkbox, and now gpk-application does not list the package dependencies anymore.
I tried to go back to listing the dependencies, however, I could not find a way to do it. How do I revert to the default behavior, i.e., having gpk-application listing the dependencies again?
apt-cache show <package> shows also it's dependencies.yum info <package> does not show dependencies, but it obviously know them.How to ask yum for dependencies of specified package?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was working on my flash drive install of Ubuntu, when I squashfsed my /usr. Long story short, I some how ended up with a working /usr, but with a few packages marked as installed, but not having its components installed (emacs). When I try to remove emacs (emacs23-nox), it gives me numerous errors about files (all relating to emacs) not existing (all in /usr). Thus my questions are as follows:
1) Is there a way to force the removal without it caring about missing packages?
-OR-
2) Is there a way to reload which packages are installed by checking which files exist, etc?
-OR-
3) Should I just nuke and re-install?
For some odd reason in wheezy it's not downloading the packages in the 'all' architecture, this leads to interesting issues when it comes to things like installing chromium and other packages that aren't built for one particular architecture. I've only noticed this in wheezy, and i'm not sure if this is normal. If there is any easy way to fix this, I'd be more than happy to hear.When i try to do an apt-get update, it only downloads from amd64 and not all. I've tried the mit mirror, and also the one shown there or well the default one but it still doesn't seem to be working right.

I recently got an iPhone 3g and have been trying to upload music onto my device with Rhythmbox because my computer exclusively runs Ubuntu (10.04 LTS, Lucid Lynx). Rhythmbox would show files that were dragged and dropped as being on the iPhone, and they appeared in the iPhone's folders, but they weren't recognized in the iPod player. I followed a variety of forum threads to try to fix the problem, but ended up creating a whole new set of problems with my package manager.
I get this error message before package manager opens: E: Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmcenery-ppa-lucid.list E: The list of sources could not be read. Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem. E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
And this message after I close the first error message window and the package manager opens: An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information. report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Type 'n' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pmcenery-ppa-lucid.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.' Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this? If it isn't already apparent, I am very inexperienced working with ubuntu, so the more detailed the response, the better.
