Hello people,
I'm trying to install the current version of ARMlinux and have run into a
problem.
I downloaded the current base files and instimage.tar.gz, then took the
rpms from the CD from which I previously successfully installed ARMlinux,
then added the new kernel rpms. This lot was collated on an NFS mount,
which the installer had no probs using (tick VG).
Installing with this lot produces some package dependency errors. Some of
these make sense and I just have to download new ones, but I don't
understand some of the others:
eg
bash needs unknown package (/bin/sh)
bash needs unknown package (grep)
downloading the latest version of grep (grep-2.1-1a1.arm.rpm) doesn't
help, and I don't know what package /bin/sh is referring to (there are
several more like this: . I can see
that the comps file in /base gives the list of packages that are selected
in the installer, and it looks like the two files hdlist and uglist deal
with the details and dependencies. However I can't find any docs on
exactly how this works, or how these files are prepared, that might let
me work out which files are actually missing/out of date.
Is this stuff documented anywhere? Do I simply have to go through the
whole list of RPMS to get them all up to date to match what is on the
website or is there a smarter way?
Any help/explanation appreciated.
Wookey
