Summary: Cinelerra Installation fails when "mpeg3-utils" packet
is installed
Product: Cinelerra
Version: 2.1
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Medium
Component: User Interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cinelerra installation fails when "mpeg3-utils" packet is installed.
In fact, in this case, the script exit with error (I not remember the kind),
and i cannot install/un-install any packet because the result is broken
packages list of Synaptic.
And, Cinelerra is not installed
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. With Synaptic, to install "mpeg3-utils" packet
2. With Synaptic, try to install Cinelerra.
3. Try to update the Synaptic packages list
Actual Results:
With Synaptic you cannot do anything and Cinelerra not installed
Expected Results:
Synaptic work well
Cinelerra installed
For to intall Cinelerra 2.1, I've red instructions from:
http://cvs.cinelerra.org/getting_cinelerra.php#gutsy
My pc is a Pentium 4 with Ubuntu 7.10, so i used this:
7.10 Gutsy Gibbon
for all x86 (full working on 32 and 64 bits), by Paolo Rampino:
deb http://repository.akirad.net akirad-gutsy main
Notes:
- Installations from this repository need an authentication key. Add it by
typing the following command in your terminal:
wget -q http://repository.akirad.net/dists/akirad.key -O- | sudo apt-key
add -
and i choosed "cinelerra (no opengl)" because i have a nVidia graphic card.
-------------------------------
When i try it, the Synaptic is unuseful.
For to exit from this situation i wrote a script (tested only in my computer!):
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/bin
cp /home/mynick/FILE Cinelerra
chmod 777 Cinelerra
cd /etc/init.d
cp /home/mynick/FILE cinestart
chmod 777 cinestart
Explanation:
When the install script exit for an error, it not write 2 files:
/usr/bin/Cinelerra
/etc/init.d/cinestart
After, when you try to uninstall Cinelerra, the uninstall script cannot find
that files and it'll exit with an error.
The result is the broken packages list of Synaptic.
The goal is to insert 2 ghost files (a copy of selfmade /home/mynick/FILE
text), were the uninstall script go for to delete them.
So the uninstall script can finish the procedure and all is OK.
For to install Cinelerra, with Synaptic, you can uninstall mpeg3-utils packet
and after you can install Cinelerra.
Naturally, the best way is to correct the install and the uninstall scripts!
(but i'm not an expert)
I'm sorry for my bad english (i'm Italian) and thank you for your time.
