Unmet dependencies in installing virtualbox-5.2

[慕 冬亮]

Hi all,

my host system is Debian Buster(i.e., Debian Testing). When I installed 
Virtualbox-5.2, I encountered "unmet dependencies". The details is in 
the following:

$ sudo apt install virtualbox-5.2
[sudo] password for mdl:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  virtualbox-5.2 : Depends: libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2) but it is not going to 
be installed
   Depends: libvpx4 (>= 1.6.0) but it is not installable
   Recommends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not going to be 
installed
   Recommends: linux-image but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

What should I do to fix broken packages?

Unstable Wayland in Debian Testing

[慕 冬亮]

Dear all,

Debian Testing for now has a very unstable wayland. I have encountered 
dozens of crashes about current Wayland during those months.

When I connect or disconnect an external screen monitor, usb driver, or 
even one phone, the desktop environment could crash. And then I login 
and found one "core" file appearing in the home directory :( . It drives 
me crazy and I am very frustrated with Debian Testing. What's wrong with 
Wayland desktop environment in Debian Testing?

Moreover, I submit one bug report 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=881893) about my 
crashes. But I don't get any response about this thread.

gir1.2-webkit-3.0 vs gir1.2-webkit-4.0

[慕 冬亮]

Dear all,

When I was searching alternatives for pywebkitgtk, I found one 
interesting github issue,

https://github.com/andresriancho/w3af/issues/13635#issuecomment-319871017

When I try to search "gir1.2-webkit", I find there are two versions for 
this package:

$ apt search gir1.2-webkit
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
gir1.2-webkit-3.0/testing,now 2.4.11-3 amd64 [installed]
   Web content engine library for GTK+ - GObject introspection data

gir1.2-webkit2-4.0/testing,now 2.16.6-1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
   Web content engine library for GTK+ - GObject introspection data

Which package should I use with the longer term maintenance into 
consideration?

I tried the following command, that uses the default initrd in /boot,

image created by debootstrap does not work

[慕 冬亮]

Hi all,

The image created by debootstrap does not work in the qemu

I use the following script to generate one image:



IMG=qemu-stretch.img
DIR=mount-point.dir

#qemu-img create -f qcow2 $IMG 5G
qemu-img create $IMG 5G
sudo mkfs.ext4 $IMG
mkdir $DIR
sudo mount -o loop $IMG $DIR
sudo debootstrap --arch amd64 stretch $DIR
sudo umount $DIR
rmdir $DIR



The commented line in the above script will get error when you create 
image by "qcow2" format.

Then I use the following command to run this image:

qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.12.0-1-amd64 -hda 
qemu-stretch.img -append "root=/dev/sda1 single"

However, the result shows that "VFS: unable to mount root fs".

I learn the method from the following website:

https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/blog/2017/01/16/setting-up-qemu-kvm-for-kernel-development/

By the way, I use Debian Testing as my host operating system.

I google this problem and find some interesting answers in the archlinux bbs.
Because Debian changes the backend of Gnome Shell from X.org to Wayland, 
Wayland does not directly support fcitx(details in

The solution is easy :
Just add the following lines into `/etc/profile`. Don't use `~/.bashrc`. It is 
not working in my system.

GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

what should I do if I want to adopt one orphaned package?

[慕 冬亮]

Dear all,

I want to adopt one package - Bochs [bochs: IA-32 PC 
emulator (package 
info)] which is orphaned since 2011 
days. And the current version in sid is 2.6-5.

The official website shows that the latest version of Bochs is 2.6.9. And 
the history for bochs is as follows:

  *   May 3, 2015: Bochs 
2.6.8 is now 
available.
  *   November 2, 2014: Bochs 
2.6.7 is now 
available.
  *   June 15, 2014: Bochs 
2.6.6 is now 
available.
  *   June 1, 2014: Bochs 
2.6.5 is now 
available.
  *   May 26, 2013: Bochs 
2.6.2 is now 
available.
  *   April 7, 2013: Bochs 
2.6.1 is now 
available.
  *   September 2, 2012: Bochs 
2.6 is now available.

What should I do and which document should I read in advance?

I have been using Debian for three years. I have some knowledge about 
Debian package development. I only have a little experience in debian software 
packaging.

Besides, I have a problem in subscribing debian-devel mailing list with 
current email. I confirmed the email, but with no any response.

Please take a look at the following URL:

It is a security feature which combines with ASLR to do full address

Such a good news for me, a student learning information security. 
However, I have a doubt, why does Debian enable PIE by default, other 
than stack protector and FORTIFY_SOURCE that are already enabled by 
default in the Ubuntu distribution?

I think stack protector(FORTIFY_SOURCE) has less overhead than PIE.

User's command is usually stored in "/usr/local/bin". It should be 
placed before "/bin" in the $PATH.

And it does in my Debian Stretch.

echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

> For example , some guy put a "rm" but named "ls" to ~/bin . This "ls"

If someone replace "ls" with "rm", you cannot prevent this by trying to 
put "/bin" at the end of $PATH.

$PATH is used to search executable file. At the head of $PATH is with 
high priority.

If there are two "ls" in different places(one /bin, one /usr/bin) of 
$PATH. It causes different effects(which ls will be executed) whether or 
not you put "/bin" at the end of $PATH

When did Debian decide to enable PIE by default?

Hello all,

I upgraded to Stretch several days ago. When I traced the instruction or

I found the program compiled by default is enabled PIE. When does Debian Team,

Today I upgraded kernel of debian testing to 4.0.0-2, but when I restart ,I 
found that vmnet module can't be recompiled
I use vmware workstation of version 
I search and find that all the thing about kernel 3.19.

# curl http://pastie.org/pastes/9934018/download -o /tmp/vmnet-3.19.patch

But this method is not right in Debian testing with kernel 4.0.0-2. vmnet 
module can't be compiled successfully.
I need a patch for kernel 4.0.0-2 so that I can use vmware normally.

I don't think so ! I think debian will support python3 sooner or later, and

Hello,
I see you have already solved this. However, I have some comments to add.
python-xlib's upstream is  http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/, and the last 
official release was made 2007-10-02, as such it is highly unlikely that 
upstream supports Python 3.
However Ubuntu has a python3-xlib package; it would appear that Ubuntu have 
made changes (whether good or bad I don't know) to support Python 3, and these 
have not made there way back to the Debian version.
As far as I can tell, there never has been a python3-xlib package in Debian.

This is like the rolling version !
So I don't what the problem is !!!

Here goes, for what it is worth.  Someone will correct me if I get it wrong.

Stable is stable.  It sits there, more or less unchanged (except for security
updates), until the next Testing is ready and becomes Stable, in one jump,
and the previous Stable becomes Old Stable.  Stable (the new one) then just
sits there until .. etc. etc.

Testing gets updated, and the new software moves up, as it becomes available,
until Testing goes into freeze.  So it rolls.  More or less.  Except when it
freezes.  While Testing is in freeze, the new software that would normally
have moved up as it was ready, sits in Sid (Unstable).  When Jessie becomes
Stable, Testing will no longer be frozen and all the software queued in Sid
will come up at once.  Hence the brief turmoil.  It will then settle down to
new software moving up as it is ready, until the next freeze.

Testing is always Testing.  It does not become Stable.  A version (Jessie
next) goes from Testing to Stable, but Testing itself still exists and
continues to roll.  It does not get replaced.  Stable gets effectively
replaced.

Does that help at all?

I think that you have got something wrong. But I am not sure I can
explain this. Let's try.

1. Currently you can use testing and jessie interchangeably. It is
suggested that you only use one of them and usually the right choice
would be the jessie instead of testing.

2. When the new Debian stable will be released it will be Debian 8,
codename: Jessie.

3. After the release if you have jessie on your /etc/apt/sources.list
file then you will be running stable. So after the release of the new
Debian stable the words jessie and stable can be used interchangeably.

4. But if you have testing then you will continue to run testing which
will then have another codename, Stretch. In other words after the
release of Debian 8, codename: Jessie as the new Debian stable the words
testing and stretch will be able to be used interchangeably.

5. I guess one could claim that testing is a rolling release (which it
is almost true in it's Debian way and when not on freeze). But using the

This is good and it solves my direct problem !

codename (jessie or stretch or whatever) will not get you rolling in any
sense.

Comment out (or delete) the above entry.  It is the original Wheezy

Also, if your intent is to upgrade to testing/Jessie, enter jessie
instead of testing in those sources lists; otherwise, when Jessie
becomes Stable, you will continue upgrading with the NEW testing
release.

This is a small and detailed problem I encountered before !

This isn't a problem, per se.  It's just the way the process works.


Some doing this, so they have the more current release files like a
Rolling Release without having to use backports.

I have a problem about this ??
So If I use stable instead of Jessie or Wheezy , I will have a
rolling release like archlinux or gentoo!
Is it ???

Not really. You'll end up with a system which is a mix of the new Stable
and what used to be Stable.  It may even break your system.  Debian
isn't set up for roll releasing.

I accidently did this once by upgrading an Etch system after Lenny
had become Stable.  My sources lists for Etch had Stable entered and
not Etch.  I ended up with a hydrid of Etch and Lenny. Surprisingly,
it still worked. I fixed it by properly dist-upgrading to Lenny.

If you want to avoid problems, use the release name in your sources
list, and not the general names Testing, Stable, etc.  Of course, there
are those who don't do this, but they have specific reasons for doing
so, and know what they are doing.

I have seen this page in detail !
It uses Internet mirror to upgrade that you used before !

I get this error when I try apt-update:

W: Failed to fetch cdrom://[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official 
Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 
20150114-03:58]/dists/testing/main/binary-amd64/Packages  Please use 
apt-cdrom to make this CD-ROM recognized by APT. apt-get update cannot 
be used to add new CD-ROMs


Does anyone know why?


According to your report , your source.list file looks like a local 
mirror , not a network mirror!
I think you should check your list file or go to official web to search 
a good file to replace !

Most likely a misconfigured /etc/apt/sources.list file. Can you post
the contents of it? How are you upgrading the system - over the
network or by using an installation CD?

raju

sources.list:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64
LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150114-03:58]/ testing main

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7 _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot amd64
LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150114-03:58]/ testing main

Comment out (or delete) the above entry.  It is the original Wheezy
install CD.  You don't need it if you're upgrading to testing.


deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib
non-free

# testing-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ testing-updates main contrib
non-free deb-src http://mirror.its.dal.ca/debian/ testing-updates
main contrib non-free

Also, if your intent is to upgrade to testing/Jessie, enter jessie
instead of testing in those sources lists; otherwise, when Jessie
becomes Stable, you will continue upgrading with the NEW testing
release.

This is a small and detailed problem I encountered before !


Some doing this, so they have the more current release files like a
Rolling Release without having to use backports.

I have a problem about this ??
So If I use stable instead of Jessie or Wheezy , I will have a 
rolling release like archlinux or gentoo!

Is it ???

It will choose the best mirror at that moment for that download.  See

I think Brian you can use apt-spy to find your fastest mirror!
it will add the list file in the sources.list.d , called apt-spy.list
It is like fastmirror plugin of yum !

debian jessie vsftpd Chinese Garbled

[慕冬亮]

In Debian Jessie , I use apt-get  to install vsftpd . It's version is 
following :  vsftpd3.0.2-17 
  amd64lightweight, efficient FTP server written 
for security  ( dpkg -l | grep vsftpd)

I didn't change the configure file , /etc/vsftpd.conf!
And the following is my locale
mdl@114-212-83-102:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8

When I use filezilla to download files from ftp , I can't download dirs 
named with Chinese !（You can see only the dir downloaded ,but files in 
this dir is not downloaded.） But I can directly download files (named 
both Chinese and not )in that dir !

Do you know where the problem or Garbled generate ？
