APT: packages held back
[Note: this is a repost, since nobody responded to it, yet I find it hard to believe that nobody knows the answer to my question.] Hi, Yesterday I wondered how much MBs I'd have to download to upgrade my hamm system (plus *some* slink stuff in there) to slink, so I set my sources.list and did 'apt-get update' + 'apt-get upgrade' (and answered 'no' ;). This showed numerous packages as being 'kept back': The following packages have been kept back zgv libtiff3g-dev mc most aalib1 lynx eeyes xv ncftp gnome-panel xbase aumix elvis g++ util-linux imlib-progs xemacs20-nomule tk8.0 minicom jdk1.1-dev apache transfig whiptail libreadlineg2-dev dialog gnome-utils tk8.0-dev libobgnome0 octave screen tcl8.0-dev libgtkxmhtml0 xemacs20-bin tcl8.0 xdelta bsdmainutils libjpeg-progs egcc ddd xserver-common ncurses-bin gdb netstd bash libtiff3g kbd xpaint gnome-core libgpmg1 procps joe dpkg ncftp libobgtk1 gpm libgnome0 gimp tcsh-i18n statserial bc ae less lftp rpm libreadlineg2 tcsh tya Now to my understanding this means that these packages *are* already installed, but will not be upgraded to the versions in slink because of some potential dependency/conflict problems. What kind of effect will this have on my system? How to find out what kind of conflicts there are, and how to go about to fix them? I also have a remark concerning the current apt package in slink: Although the man-pages refer to documentation in /usr/doc/apt (ie. guide.text.gz), these documents are no longer available. My previous version of apt (0.16-1 I think, pretty old), did have these docs in the package. Could this be considered as a bug?

XBanner trouble
Hi, I wrote about this to the xbanner maintainer a while back, but I either didn't get an answer, or it was a "I don't know", don't remember: I'm having trouble with xbanner 1.31-13 after I upgraded the rest of my system to hamm. I already had libc6 by then, and a devel-environment for libc6, and I did the rest of the upgrade with apt. I used to have an XPM on my xdm-screen, now I get a message that xbanner cannot open that picture. It's still in the right location, and I have the corerct version of libXpm installed. Also, I use the 'Glint' options of xbanner. But now these 'sparkles' also appear on my X root-window *after* I have logged in. Anybody knows these problems?

You shouldn't have to change anything to the window-managers file. Gnome does not contains a window-manager, gnome *is* not a window manager. You should get your preferable windowmanager running, and then add 'panel &' to your .xsession (if you're running xdm) or .xinitrc (if you're using startx), and if you want to gsm (the gnome session manager, it's in package gnome-session). If you add these, remember to put them *before* any call to a window-manager, or else they wont be started.

Afterstep blues
Hi, I've decided I need some help. I don't get it anymore. I upgraded a lot of packages on my own computer to be able to use libc6 versions of X-programs (most notably the gimp), and it has worked. I use afterstep as window manager (version 1.0-5.1). This one also works just fine. Now I have installed *exactly* the same packages on the computer of a friend (which had almost the same install as mine computer, and I should know, I installed it), in *exactly* the same order, and I can't get afterstep to work. Put afterstep in .xsession, and it just hangs whenever afterstep tries to draw some pretty lines around windows. btw. windows don't appear at all. Example .xsession: xterm & afterstep doesn't show a thing. Other example: xterm .. shows an xterm, but this setup is hardly usable :) I also tried: afterstep & $wmpid=$! start some things wait $wmpid Doesn't do it either. Difference between the computers: I use xdm, he doesn't, I have an S3 968, he an ATI MACH64. One thin I noticed: on his computer 'top' fails to run *after* I have tried to start afterstep. If I start top *before* I have started afterstep for the first time after a reboot, it works. So, anybody got a clue? Did I miss some package? Relevant packages installed on both systems: xlib6_3.3.1-2.deb xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb xpm4.7_3.4j-0.5.deb xpm4g_3.4j-0.5.deb afterstep_1.0-5.1.deb m4_1.4-6.deb Maarten _________ | Maarten Boekhold, Faculty of Electrical Engineering TU Delft, NL| | Computer Architecture and Digital Technique section | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

more on 'clean hamm install'
Hi, Tonight I had to install a new debian system, and I wanted it to be completely 'hamm' from the beginning. Since there are no install disks for hamm yet, I decided to do the following (also on recommendation from some other folks here on the list): Install using the 'bo' disks, untill dselect pop op Then, following the libc5-to-libc6 howto install in order these packages: ldso libc6 ncurses3.0 ncurses3.4 libreadline2 I got to here. Here dpkg started complaining that libreadline2 depended on libc5. I was very surprised to find out this wasn't installed yet. But, I'm clever (at least I thought I was), so I rebooted to win95, downloaded libc5, and booted linux again (using a boot-disk). Got a login-prompt, logged on as root, and got a message from ld.so that it couldn't load libreadline.so.2 . Damned. So I rebooted again, booted up again using a rescue-disk, and indeed, libreadline.so.2 wasn't installed. There were libreadline files in /lib/libc5-compat though, so something was unpacked alright. I tried to install libc5 using dpkg (dpkg --root=/mnt -i libc5), but this failed with an 'unresolved symbol sysinfo'. dpkg --help worked however. Then I extracted libreadline and libhistory on another linux machine, and, using the rescue disk I copied these into place, plus I made the correct symlinks. This didn't help very much. I can try to logon, I get the motd, and then back to the login prompt. So, that's where I'm stuck now. Anybody got an idea what to do next? What if I extract the libc.so from the libc5 package and copy that to /lib/libc5-compat, would that help? The only other solution I have is clean-install again, and then to go through the dselect stage to install a very minimal number of packages (only those marked 'required'?).

Clean hamm installation
Hi, Is it already possible to install a new system directly with hamm? I need to do an install tonight, and want it to be hamm. I noticed that the hamm/main/disks-i386/current directory points to bo/disks-i386/current. Does this mean that I can install a clean libc6 system using those install disks?

where's dlfnc.h?
Hi, I just went on to compile the newest greatest etc version of PostgreSQL (6.2), and the compile failed because dlfnc.h can't be found. This file is supposed to be in ldso At least it was in ldso_1.8.8-1.deb. I recently installed ldso-1.9.6-2, because I also want libc6, and there it is missing. Also, I noticed that all section 3 manpages for libdl are missing from that version I'll try to use the dlfnc.h from 1.8.8-2, but I have a feeling this is not gonna work.

Nor do I particularly > want to compile the source nor install the RPM. AFAIK there's only a postgres95-1.09 package, which is *really* out of date. Postgresql 6.2 was just released yesterday and is sooo much better (stability, performance, functionality) Actually I think that building a package isn't that difficult. There should probably be some discussion as to where all the files should go, or somebody could take a look at msql where they put it in our distribution. The main problem with a postgresql package (IMHO) is that many times when an upgrade becomes available, also a dump/restore of all databases is needed, because some system-tables have changed. That's why I never started building a package (that, and the fact that I have no idea anymore what it takes to build one, last package I build was over a year ago, and so much has changed since then :) Maarten _____ | Maarten Boekhold, Faculty of Electrical Engineering TU Delft, NL| | Computer Architecture and Digital Technique section | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

DBF is a binary file-format (well, at least its headers are binary, the field contents are actually stored in plain ascii). You probably have messed up the header with the recode stage. You shouldn't use recode on the whole file but actually only on the field-contents.

But, since you have already read EOF in the scanner, and you have not
returned from it, yylex will try to get a new character to continue
parsing. But EOF has already appaered, so there's nothing in the buffer
anymore. I think it's normal that you get an error on this. You either
have to unput(EOF), or to 'return' from the scanner after the
'printf("error\n");"

I tried installing communicator 4.03 using netscape4_4.0-4.deb, and got
the following output:

Now it seems like java doesn't work properly (which doesn't sound too
surprising). Netscape gives the following error when trying to execute an
applet:
Unable to start a java applet: Can't find 'java40.jar' in your
CLASSPATH. Read the release notes and install 'java40.jar'
properly before restarting.
Current value of CLASSPATH:
/usr/local/lib/netscape/plugins:/usrs/bin/X11/plugins: \
/home/boekhold/.netscape/plugins
How can I get communicator to look at the proper place
(/usr/lib/netscape/java/classes)?

THANK YOU, see you again. I assume you tried building it from the debian sources? ie. postgres95 1.09? I have looked at your make-output, and am puzzled. I have build postgres95 version 1.08, 1.09 6.0 and 6.1beta several times on my system from the original sources, and never had any problems, certainly not like these. The only thing I consistently have to change is removing linking with -ltermcap in src/bin/psql/Makefile (Postgres thinks that all linux-systems have libtermcap...). My guess is that the debian-sources are screwed up.

About the SMART2 controller, I've heard that it has a (NCR)|(Symbios)53c875 on it and should be recognized given the prober drivers are compiled in. I don't know how you can access RAID-features, but I think it's completely transparent from the OS point of view (aren't all those things taken care of by the board itself and can't you configure them by using the cards BIOS?). I'm curious about the SMART RAID-controller from compaq (ie. version 1). Anybody got some info on that one?

Pentium GCC
Hi, I was just thinking: wouldn't it be a nice idea to have a pgcc package around for ppl who want to get the most out of their pentium? Even if it means the package must be in experimental? It would probably be mostly used to recompile kernels, don't know how big of an improvement you could get out of that. Most ppl won't take the trouble of recompiling every single package that have installed :). Just curious, how much would I gain with an 'pentium optimized' kernel? Maybe libc? And X?

Can't get NFS with ugidd working
Hi, I'm using NFS here at home to share stuff with a room-mate, and we're both using different uid's and gid's onthe systems, but the same names. So I thought: ugidd. I enabled it in /etc/init.d/netstd_nfs, editted /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny, and have added 'map_daemon' to the export-lines. But I still get numbers or 'nobody' and 'nosuchgroup' or something like that. I don't get it. Isn't this the way I should get this working?

You might have to use the 'double fork()' trick. This creates two childs,
where the second child becomes a child of init when the first child have
exited and the parent wait()'s for the first child. See man perlfunc for
more info. Sorry I don't give more info, just had a party and had had
quite a lot of choice from delicious drinks :)

mounting files as filesystems
Hi, I remember having heard of some way to mount a *file* as filesystem. I would want to use this to mount an iso9660 filesystem that is created as file.

IP-accounting
Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me to some pointers to information about IP-accounting. I found the manpages a bit sparse for an introduction suitable for setting things up.

mirror and symlinks
Hi, I just played around with mirror, and found the following: In the dirstructure I'm replicating are some dirs that are very large, and I will not be able to get it all on one filesystem, so I have created for two dirs two symlinks to another filesystem. But, everytime I start to mirror, those two dirs are fetched completely. I suspect it has something to do with those symlinks and mirror thinking it's different, cos on the remote system these are just plain dirs. Is there a solution/flag/option to change this behaviour?
