I have ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and I was experimenting with theming. But I need to install 4 packages which I can't seem to find on the net.I DO NOT want to update as this is the last version in which you can completely customize the login screen.
View 9 RepliesI did the UPGRADE from Karmic Koala to Lucid, and everything was going well. But now I've been having problems with the UBUNTU UPDATE tool for the last 2 weeks. Every time I try to do an update check on the packages, I get the following message:Failed to fetch http:[url]....Release Unable to find expected entry deb-src/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.I've tried changing the servers to MAIN and others, and still no way to solve it. I've also checked for other posts, but haven't found a solution yet. Here's my SOURCES LIST (gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list)# See http:[url].... for how to upgrade to # newer versions of the distribution.
I want to clean my ubuntu installation and I want to find packages which I installed using .deb files or using another (not ubuntu) repositories. I'm sure it can be done using apt or dselect or dpkg, but how?)

I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 to 9.10 via 8.10 etc. When I run update manager, I get this:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] Unable to find expected entry universal/binary-i386/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?), E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
and then it closes. I've unselected all the third party packages and tried various servers, but no difference. I can wget the file, but when I look at it I see entries for "universe/binary-i386/Release", but nothing for "universal" .
when I try to install anything using the Ubuntu software centre, I get the following message Requires installation of untrusted packages The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from F13 to F14 using "preupgrade". This is the first time I've used preupgrade. So far, F14 is running OK. There are some leftovers from F13 and I'm wondering if this is correct.
Q1: There are 176 F13 packages remaining. [alfrugal@localhost Documents]$ rpm -qa | grep fc13 | wc -l 176 Is this OK? FWIW, after the upgrade, I ran "package-cleanup --orphans" as recommended by the "preupgrade" page on the Fedora Project wiki.
Q2: Also, my GRUB menu was correctly updated for F14, but it still contains the three entries it had for F13. Is it normal for the preupgrade process to require the user to clean up the obsolete entries from the GRUB menu?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to use a package manager to generate a list of all installed packages that are not depended on by any other installed package. That is to say, a list of installed packages that are not required by any other installed package. I believe these are referred to as packages with 0 forward dependencies. I believe they are also called "leaves."
I am on Red Hat, so a method of doing this with rpm, yum or smart would be optimal. I discovered the package-cleanup program that is a part of yum-utils. According to package-cleanup's man page, the option --leaves will "list leaf nodes in the local RPM database. Leaf nodes are RPMs that are not relied upon by any other RPM." I thought this would do what I wanted, but it seems to do a poor job. It listed only two packages. While those two packages are indeed required by nothing else, I am sure there are many more than two on my system. (For example, it did not list firefox)
I have a short question. I want to find out which packages are depending on some package. For example, I want to know which packages are depending on evolution.Is there any possibility how to find it out?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with internet access with amd64 architecture running Debian stable (Lenny). I have another computer with NO internet access with i386 architecture running Debian stable (Lenny).I want to download some packages for the i386 computer using the amd64 computer. So far, the only way I can see to do this is to use dpkg-architecture to temporarily change to i386 on the internet computer, run aptitude with the download-only option to retrieve the packages I need with all suitable dependencies, then switch the internet computer back over to amd64.
I can't imagine I'm the only person who ever needed to do this, and yet I've had no luck finding any advice. The method I described seems rather awkward - is there a more elegant solution?
I apologize to the membership, I realize now the absurdity of this subject. Having now studied the online repository search functions closer, I see it appears packages are automatically retrieved with all necessary dependencies. As such, it is not necessary to use apt and its various functions to do the job.
