interrupted file transfer
Hi all, Recently (in the last few weeks) i noticed that some files cannot be ftp-retrieved completely. It is the case of the file g77_2.91.60-1.deb whose transfer stopped at 1210340 (96%). It is not due to the server, since a tried to reget the file from different debian mirrors, with no success. I also tried to change the ftp-client, but no luck: i can successfully start or restart transfer for every file from the distribution, but g77_2.91.60-1.deb cannot be downloaded beyond the level 1210340 bytes. Using the program lftp i tried to monitor transfer process in debug mode, but i gained no useful information. Can anybody help me to understand what is happening? thank you Paolo Pumilia cstc -
slib installation failed
Hi all, I cannot install slib on my debian machine. The reason seems obscure to me. Here is the log from dpkg: Preparing to replace slib 2c0-3 (using slib_2c0-3.deb) ... Unpacking replacement slib ... Setting up slib (2c0-3) ... guile: Could not find slib/require.scm in (/usr/share/guile/site /usr/share/guile/1.2 /usr/share/guile .) dpkg: error processing slib (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: Maybe somebody can give me help to interpret the above message. File require.scm is really missing; the whole directory slib is missing really. Where should i get such file? Guile libs have been installed, as one can see: ii guile1.21.2-3 Guile, the GNU extension language ii libguile2 1.2-3 Scheme and interpreter libraries for guile ii libguile3 1998.08.24-1 `libguile.so.3' shared libraries for Guile1. What is missing in my system? tank you for your suggestions Paolo Pumilia File require.scm is really missing; the whole directory slib is missing really. Where should i get such file? cstc -
re-installing gcc_2.7.2.3
Hi all, A few days ago i installed gcc-2.8.1 in /usr, by mistake, thus overwriting gcc_2.7.2.3 that is to be used when compiling the kernel in debian distribution. Than i run 'make uninstall' for gcc-2.8.1 and tried to reinstall gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb. I gon the following cryptic message: Unpacking gcc (from gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb) ... dpkg: error processing gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/g++', which is also in package g++ dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: gcc_2.7.2.3-3.deb I think that messages like 'error processing ...' without intelligible hints about what problem has been encountered should be avoided.Moreover /usr/bin/g++ seems to be a regular file ... Lastly: what does it mean (to common users) the sentence:'subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)' ? Can anybody explain me how to re-install gcc_2.7.2.3 ? thank you Paolo Pumilia --- cstc - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Unusual behaviour after ugrading to login_970616
Hi all, Since i upgraded to login_970616-1.deb i noticed two weird things: - user that logs in through xdm cannot be detected by 'who' command, while users that log in during an X session, through 'telnet localhost' are displayed as usual. - Login from the 'command line level' (level 2 maybe, i am non sure of the common consent about levels) is not allowed to root! Ordinary users can log in, but root access is denyed because Login incorrect. Can anybody explain what has happened ? thank you for your suggesions Paolo Pumilia --- CSTC - -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Forcing xforms installation?
Hi all, I have recently removed xlib and installed xlib6_3.3.1-2.deb. that provides shared libraries required by libc5-based X clients and should replace elf-x11r6lib and xlib. As i try to install xforms0.86_0.86-2.deb, dpkg seems to check only if xlib can be found (that is not installed any more) and therefore complains: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of xforms0.86: xforms0.86 depends on elf-x11r6lib; however: Package elf-x11r6lib is not installed. Package xlib which provides elf-x11r6lib is not installed. dpkg: error processing xforms0.86 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: xforms0.86 should i force installation for xforms or does something is wrong in my procedure? thank you for your suggestions Paolo Pumilia -- CSTC -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hi all, I have made several attempts to install xlib6-dev_3.3-4.deb, yet i did not succed. dpkg complains: . . . dpkg: regarding xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb containing xlib6g: xlib6g conflicts with xlib6 ( 3.3-5) xlib6 (version 3.3-4) is installed. dpkg: error processing xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing xlib6g Errors were encountered while processing: xlib6g_3.3.1-2.deb In fact xlib6 and xlib6-dev are installed, but version 3.3-4 seems to be the latest available one; it should not be considerd 'much less' than 3.3-5.
