We are using dpkg on Solaris to manage packages. I am having a couple of difficulties.
1. I've built a package, but when I install it I get this error. dpkg: warning, architecture `sun4u-sunos-5.8' not in remapping table dpkg: error processing reng.cgiemail-1.6-v-1.deb (--install): package architecture (sparc-sunos-5.8) does not match system (unknown) Errors were encountered while processing: reng.cgiemail-1.6-v-1.deb How to clear this error? > dpkg --print-architecture /ms/bin/dpkg: warning, architecture `sun4u-sunos-5.8' not in remapping table unknown What is and where is the remapping table? 2. I installed this with --force-architecture. then in my testing I removed it with 'dpkg -r reng.cgiemail' and it removed. It ALSO removed all the other files that were in the same directory. What could i have missed? Or, how can I prevent this. thanks! David R.
