How do I make apt-get not install dependencies? For example, I wanted to install mailx but it also installs exim4 and others. I just want mailx and nothing else. How do I do this?
View 9 RepliesI'm looking for a way to install kdebase 4.7 with no additional dependencies. My target is home desktop and I only want these : kdm, plasma, ark, dolphin, kdesu, konsole, okteta, kwrite, kate, kmix, ksnapshot. There are things I don't use but they get installed anyway and break kdm if removed. These things are : akonadi, strigi, nepomuk, virtuoso, kfind, kgreeter and a couple of others, including libqtzeitgeist0 and PIM in general. Also I don't want kdm 4.7 features hence I use kdm3 as a login manager. Is there a 4.7 build that doesn't mind the removal of so called base components? If not, is there a 4.4 repo for 11.4?

sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Also install dependencies for a deb file in the same way as GDebi does? Basically I have the above in a script, which I can right click in any folder and have it automatically install all debs in it. So much easier and quicker than using GDebi for each one. However, as of now, it doesn't seem to be installing dependencies, and causes broken packages.
I am using Ubuntu to develop for an embedded ARM device that has a minimal linux kernel installation on it. I have cross-compiled individual programs before for the target system, but now I have entered the realm where I need to install a package on the ARM system.
I have done this easily using apt-get on a Beagleboard that had an Xubuntu installation, but I am now working with a minimal install that does not have apt. My question is, is there a simple way to install apt (and its dependencies) on my ARM target?
I was able to do this before but, I can't remember where I found the link.I think is was a script or something. It would get all the files that the .Deb will need and make an installer.
P.S. I have Ubuntu 64-bit the PC that need the install is a 32-bit both are 10.04.

Previously apt-get has been happy to install dependencies. I'm new to Linux so if you need any more information just shout and I'll edit that in.

So recently I've been exploring my options in terms of a desktop environment. trying out different options (Blackbox, Enlightenment ect..) and somehow in the process i managed to uninstall Gnome.

So I go through synaptic and it tells me, to install 'swfdec-mozilla' i need to uninstall 'epiphany-extensions' so I do that. and then the terminal gives me the same error as before.. only it say that 'epiphany-extensions' is not going to be installed.
I'm running 10.04.
I'd like to update /etc/apt/sources.list with all the packages available on packages.debian.org and packages.ubuntu.com without apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic then trashing my system by trying to update all the obsolete packages. (I'm stuck with 8.04) I only want to update the packages / install new ones with their dependencies as I request them. How do I do that?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to install Lyx today, but because of the massive overhead I decided to install it without its 'recommended' packages. From previous experience some of these packages were just the same font in different sizes that rendered font selected in other word processing applications tiresome as I scrolled through the list.
Code:
apt-get install lyx --no-install-recommends
Only 8mb of disk space was needed! But at a cost.
Although AFAIK as a user that has only spent fives minutes at LYX ( 4 of which gawking at how easy it is to write mathematical symbols in ) the segment that does not work is the 'rendering' where I cannot export as dvi, pdf etc.
When I open a document, I get this error:
Quote:
The layout file requested by this document, article.layout is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX class or style file required by it is not available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX will not be able to produce output.
What packages are absolutely necessary for LyX to work at a bare minimum? My monthly Internet usage is capped, and 700mb is a massive blow to it.
By the way, the documentation it recommends me to read ( 'Customisation' ) contains information applicable to creating new layouts and/or why I do not have someone else's layout that this document requires. It is obvious however that 'article.layout' is a standard component, and is probably inside on of the many recommended packages.
The download of recommended packages is ~ 400mb, but once extracted is ~700mb. That is still a large download for my internet connection currently.
Code:
The following NEW packages will be installed:
dvipng lacheck latex-beamer latex-xcolor libt1-5 lmodern luatex lyx pgf
preview-latex-style prosper ps2eps psutils texlive-base texlive-binaries

When this application is removed,will zypper remove the dependencies that came with it and are not needed by other installed packages?
Is it possible to check before and after removal?

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