I am "only" 62, and run into many of the same things. I would only hope
if I make 80, I can still function on my own.

If I read this thread correctly, I think

will answer your question(s).


it only returned Jessie packages, but they turned out to be the same as

ROTFLMAO! And my apologies for my own attitude caused by all the 
frustrations I've encountered the last week or so.

I had that coming I guess, but that site is just different enough to 
confuse this old fart.

I did figure out how to make synaptic make use of wheezy-backports, so I 
said to myself, I can't make it any worse, so I let it install over 300 
pkgs from backports.  Other that tar, its running better than it has in 
quite a spell, although I understand Lisi is holding her breath because 
I've gone someplace that even angels don't.  We'll see I guess, but like 
the guy who said he was going to live forever, so far, so good.  I can, 
at 81, and despite a pulmonary embolism that came very close to punching 
my ticket out of here at the end of May 2014, can also say so far so 
good.  Most of the time.

If I had known at 20 that I was going to live this long, I sure would 
have taken better care of me.

This, from a guy who was a geek before the word was invented, I quit 
school in 1948 to go see if I could fix these newfangled things called 
televisions, and I "had the knack", and its incurable.  I am glad it 
wasn't, because of pure serendipity, I've left my fingerprints in some 
unusual, one of a kind  places over the last 67 years, like the tv 
cameras that were on the Trieste in Feb, 1960 when it went down into the 
mohole.

But the combo of age, and hard to define aspects of the P-E with its 
potential for mini-strokes, has me asking questions of you kind folks 
that 30 years ago I would have written the code to find my own answers 
to.  And as you can imagine, its frustrating.

The rest as they say is history.

Probably me.  In any event, I did find where in synaptic to enable the 
wheezy-backports, and an update then brought about 330 packages up newer 
versions.

Unfortunately, one of them was tar, to version 1.27-1 and it no longer 
tolerates being called with the -cpsf option list, puking all over 
itself and refusing to complete last nights backup run by amanda.
This gets tiresome as I don't recall ever updating tar, and having a 
working syntax when it was done.  Suitable help please message posted to 
the tar-users list.

Other than that, the system seems to be running smoother after that 
update blast than it has since the ssl/tls square dance started around 2 
weeks ago.  So I'll be pleased when I figure out how to fix tar so it 
works again.

Thanks Richard.

Snotty attitudes don't cut it, and neither does that site.  The search 
engine is apparently set to scan for jessie(stable) only, or at least it 
returns zero results for wheezy. And once you have used the search, you 
cannot back out as the back button never takes you back to THAT site.
I quit iceweasel 3 times just so it could send it back to THAT site to 
see if I could figure out how to use it to do a useful search.

So unless you can offer real help, STFU and let someone else with less of 
an attitude answer.

My thanks to anyone with a helpful answer.

I did find it eventually but its a whole version number newer, so I've no 
clue if it will install.  sudo dpkg I assume.  And I am amazed, dpkg had 
no complaints.

So I re-ran geda-gaf's autogen.sh, getting this back at the end:
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your 
configure.ac
   file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18.2 but 
this version
   is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18.2 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.

Older? 'scuse me, but, an "ldconfig -v|grep gettext" returns:
libgettextpo.so.0 -> libgettextpo.so.0.5.1
libgettextlib-0.19.3.so -> libgettextlib-0.19.3.so
libgettextsrc-0.19.3.so -> libgettextsrc-0.19.3.so

Something isn't matching, and the error is bogus? But thats a SWAG.

./configure has no problems, but make ends with a missing .h file.  Again 
exactly the same result as I got yesterday with gettext-0.18.1-whatever.

So, where do I go from here?  I can't update to Jessie just yet since 
LinuxCNC iso's for Jessie haven't been assembled yet.  Its coming, but 
likely not until after April. It helps now that Linus has announced his 
own LTS kernel just this past week.  Now our kernel folks know what 
kernel they need to make compatible with the RTAI patchkit, and vice 
versa of course.

My thanks to anyone who can offer useful advice.  I'd use eagle for the 
current need, but that kit self-destructs quite often when updates 
destroy any thought of being backward compatible with previously 
composed work.

it only returned Jessie packages, but they turned out to be the same as

Gee, I just luv broken packages AND configure scripts.  That error turned 
out to be autopoint was still at 0.18.1whatever.  And autopoint is 
SUPPOSED to be part of GNU_gettext, but for some reason is packaged 
separately.  The same apt-get syntax (thank you) that updated gettext, 
also worked for autopoint, so that error is gone, but the make bailed 
out for lack of a libgeda/colors.h.  And that I don't believe is 
debian's problem.

There are no doubt, other things in wheezy-backports that synaptic isn't 
showing me despite having that defined in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Maybe even updated gEDA packages I am trying to build since the wheezy 
versions cannot even interchange data files between gshem and pcb.

How do I convince synaptic to show them to me?  That certainly has to be 
easier that poking around the back of the donkey with a sharp stick  
trying to build the whole suite of programs that gEDA is. ;)

Thank you all;

C'mon. At the very least you have

Actually the packages page for debian does give you the option of 
searching for "oldstable" all the way up to "experimental", including an 
option for "any". The search function is actually quite good.

If I read this thread correctly, I think

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gettext

will answer your question(s).

I have that in /etc/apt/sources.list as

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports main contrib non-free

Do I need to add another option word above to see 0.18.2?

C'mon. At the very least you have

  https://packages.debian.org

for what archives have and the wiki for telling you how to use
backports. Help others to help you by helping yourself.

You have to install the gettext backport the same way you would
install any other backport:

apt-get -t wheezy-backports install gettext


See

http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

for details.

Greetings all;

geda-gaf is refusing to autoconfig, gettext is 0.18.1-1.9, and I need

Is there a deb repo I can raid just for that?

Thanks.

Probably but you may find that gettext is a dependency of other packages 
that might not like the more recent versions. You can try building it 
statically linked to get around this.


If you go to packages.debian.org you can search for packages from all 
the recent versions of Debian.

Thank you Gary, I'll look into that in the morning.

Greetings all;

geda-gaf is refusing to autoconfig, gettext is 0.18.1-1.9, and I need

Is there a deb repo I can raid just for that?

Thanks.
