Hello! I'm an expirienced Debian-User (since pre-bo), and built my own Debian-Packages, but i'm not (yet?) a Debian-Developer. Now i've installed Debian GNU/Hurd on one of my computers (Thanks to Marcus for his FreeX-Article).
Now to my current problems: 1. apt i've fetched apt (manually) from alpha.gnu.org and added it to the system, but it doesn't work: Err ftp://alpha.gnu.org unstable/main Release Failed - getsockopt (1073741869 Operation not supported) a manually ftp works also the dpkg-ftp... the same applies for http on source.rfc822.org i tried to use a proxy, but failed here also. the box stands behind a masquerading Linux, and manually tests with 'ftp' or 'telnet .... 80' show that the problem must be local. BTW: if i let the box run through to the point where it shows 'Reading Package Lists...' it freezes and a reboot is nessesary. 2. dependencies * i try to update the hurd-package and dpkg wants to remove the shellutils-package. shellutils conflicts with login (<< 19990827-1) hurd provides login shellutils provides some nice-programs: date, echo, false, pwd, sleep, uname. i don't want to miss them :-) 3. dpkg-hurd-dev when i want to install that package it wants to deinstall dpkg-dev (that's ok) and debian-policy, debmake, debsums, debhelper, dh-make i think that many source-packages in woody now want functions from debhelper.
