apt-get and windowmaker 0.60.0
Hello! I'm running slink (and apt 0.3.7) , but am interested in trying out the new version of WindowMaker. So I went looking around though the WM online docs and found the following URL which had the debs. http://master.debian.org/~mmagallo/packages All is good so far. So I download the main wmaker*.deb and do a dpkg -I on it and see that it depends on libc6. Assuming that libc6 is not the same thing as glibc2.1 (since my /lib/libc has a version of 6 at the end), I descided to take the plunge. He has a packages.gz file so I added the line: deb http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages to my /etc/apt/sources.list When I run 'apt-get update', everything works fine. When I run 'apt-get install wmaker libwraster1 wmsound' I get a bunch of errors that look like this: Err http://master.debian.org ~mmagallo/packages/ libwraster1 0.60.0-1 404 Not found. My theory is I have a malformed apt line. So...the inevitable qestions: 1. What would be the proper way to form the sources.list line? 2. Do I have no business playing with these debs anyway? 3. Am I correct in my assumption that libc6 glibc2.1 (or whatever potato is running at)? 4. Is there a better place to find wmaker 0.60.0 debs? 5. (I'll sneak this one in) Where can I find updated slink debs for gnome? Thanks in advance!!! -Jonathan 404 Lupa - [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm using them now on a slink system. 3. Am I correct in my assumption that libc6 glibc2.1 (or whatever potato is running at)? Look at the version of libc6. glibc2 is libc6 2.0 and glibc2.1 is libc6 2.1 4. Is there a better place to find wmaker 0.60.0 debs? I think that Marcello will soon be compiling the debs on a potato system. Of course, I could be wrong. 5. (I'll sneak this one in) Where can I find updated slink debs for gnome? Add this to sources.list deb ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/gnome-1.0/debian slink main L8r. --- Tower Visit my WindowMaker page at http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/ You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge. -Neil Peart, Rush, Show Don't Tell

I think I had a brain cramp answering this one. I meant to say that, for now, that is probably the best place, until Marcello switches to potato. I don't know of any other sites that have them. I really should remember to actually answer the question. :) --- Tower Visit my WindowMaker page at http://www.cs.mun.ca/~gstarkes/wmaker/ You can twist perceptions, reality won't budge. -Neil Peart, Rush, Show Don't Tell
