Dear List -I am a newbie am running version 6 [squeeze]. My update fails with the following message. I am totally confused.
This probably ISN'T a failure. It looks to my like the output of "apt-listchanges". You're being presented with some news about a pending upgrade. In this instance, it probably won't affect you unless you're compiling software. The message is presented in a pager called "less", just press 'q' to quit the pager and you'll be asked if you want to proceed with the upgrade or not (again, in this instance you might want to say no in order to upgrade your 'non-Debian toolchain' first, if you had one).
======== Starting with the eglibc package version 2.13-5, the libraries are shipped in the multiarch directory /lib/<triplet> instead of the more traditional /lib, where <triplet> is the multiarch triplet and can be retrieved with 'dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH'. Similarly the includes are now shipped in /usr/include/<triplet> instead of the more traditional /usr/include. The toolchain in Debian has been updated to cope with that, and most build systems should be unaffected. If you are using a non-Debian toolchain to build your software and it is not able to cope with multiarch, you might try to pass the following options to your compiler: -B/usr/lib/<triplet> -I/usr/include/<triplet> Alternatively if the build system makes hard to pass the above options, you might try to set the LIBRARY_PATH and CPATH environment variables: LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/<triplet> CPATH=/usr/include/<triplet> export LIBRARY_PATH CPATH >>>>>>> cat /etc/apt/sources.list # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1a _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20110322-15:11]/ squeeze contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1a _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-1 20110322-15:11]/ squeeze contrib main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1a _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD Binary-2 20110322-15:11]/ squeeze contrib main # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' # A network mirror was not selected during install.
