yeah, like really really dumb. i've been taking a few packages from debian and installing them on my shr system. all was going well, until i got to libc6. here i should have stopped - this is a pretty critical part of any system, unlike gphoto and other trivial stuff that i'd installed previously
my system works fine as far as i can tell - it boots, everything runs fine, but at every opkg update && opkg upgrade i get this: Multiple packages (libc6 and libc6) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest. Multiple packages (libc6 and libc6) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest. Multiple packages (libc6 and libc6) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest. Multiple packages (libc6 and libc6) providing same name marked HOLD or PREFER. Using latest. Upgrading libc6 on root from 2.6.1-r16 to 2.7-18... Collected errors: * ERROR: Package libc6 (parent libc6) is not available from any configured src. * Failed to download libc6. Perhaps you need to run 'opkg update'? but it never completes. i should say, all the other packages upgrade just fine. i think the issue is with the install scripts, there are commands in them which aren't relevant to the freerunner (dpkg for instance), so it's never going to complete opkg list_installed |grep libc6 returns the version from shr (2.6) opkg install -force-reinstall and opkg install -force-downgrade give the same messages as above so, can anyone offer advice? i want to return to the original shr version without re-flashing if possible cheers _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
