Hi There seem to be some inconsistencies between the two main armel repositories, and neither of the main ones seems to work properly any more.
The ftp.debian-ports.org repository is missing important packages or things are uninstallable because of arch-dependent and arch-independent package version conflicts. For example: libtool and libmpich-1.0-dev are missing # apt-get install aptitude [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude: Depends: libcwidget0 but it is not installable # apt-get install libcwidget0 [...] E: Couldn't find package cwidget0 # apt-get install libgtk2.0-0 [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: libgtk2.0-0: Depends: libgtk2.0-common (= 2.12.3-1) but it is not going to be installed I gather the latter is because the arch-independent libgtk2.0-common has been updated but the armel binary package libgtk2.0-0 hasn't. I am told this is "normal" - is there really no way to keep a repository coherent and usable in the face of buildd delays, like keeping both versions of the arch-indep binary packages around and only updating an architecture's Packages file with the new arch-indep when the corresponding arch-dep package comes in? FWIW, /etc/apt/sources.list contains: deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unstable main deb http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian unreleased main and I get the same symptoms listing just "unstable" The repo at ftp.gnuab.org instead seemed more coherent/complete but I cannot apt-get update from it any more: # apt-get update [...] Failed to fetch http://ftp.gnuab.org/debian/dists/unstable/Release No sections in Release file /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.gnuab.org_debian_dists_unstable_Release and the named file on the local host has length 0. The same happens if I say "sid" instead of "unstable". Is there something obvious that I'm missing here? Is anyone else having similar problems or is it just me? Also, debian-ports.org admins, can we have http browse permission on ftp.debian-ports.org please? It would help understand what is going on M -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
