You can try to use stable repositories instead by modifying the install.sh script - you just need to make sure that you then don't specify any phone software like Zhone at the install time, since those are only available with the E17 that is in unstable and not in the latest Debian release. I've been meaning to try out if that'd work for some time, but haven't got a suitable extra microsd card and time slot to check it out. Then if you get a minimal installation ongoing, it's much easier to install more software and experiment in a bootable system. The unstable anyway is in a shaky situation at the moment, as still the Python E17 dependencies are not in so they are also not installable. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[debian] cannot bootstrap libc6
Hello, I'm trying to install Debian on Openmoko Freerunner and have encountered the following problem. Both cdebootstrap and debootstrap fail to install a basic Debian system (stage "debian" of install.sh). Packages are downloaded and extracted, but dpkg is refusing to install libc6: === [...] I: Extracting zlib1g... I: Installing core packages... W: Failure trying to run: chroot /mnt/debian dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-8_armel.deb root@hackable1:~# chroot /mnt/debian dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-8_armel.deb (Reading database ... 349 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking libc6 (from .../libc6_2.13-8_armel.deb) ... A copy of the C library was found in an unexpected directory: '/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libc-2.13.so' It is not safe to upgrade the C library in this situation; please remove that copy of the C library or get it out of '/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi' and try again. dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-8_armel.deb (--install): subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-8_armel.deb === If libc-2.13.so and libc.so.6 are then moved to /lib, then dpkg begins to wail about /lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libdl-2.13.so, which suddenly emerges out of nowhere. On next iteration there appears libm... So, as far as I can see, all these files are just being unpacked from the very package I ask dpkg to install. Does this mean that Debian sid (unstable) armel is broken at the moment? How can this problem be dealt with? Changing --force-depends to --force-all does not help. -- Dmitry Chistikov ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
