Debian install tkdesk etc...
I installed Debian from Infomagic winter edition. Dselect worked properly, except it did not configure/install 4 packages. Two of them I mention here: tkdesk. The complain is that it depends on xlib. motifnls. The complain is that it depends on xbaseR6. Now looking at the directories I see that X11/X11R6 is installed. I tried ghostview and it works properly. I even looked at the ftp site and saw that xlib6 depend on libc5. I ftpd and unzipped the latest libc5 library. I still have the problem. What to do? (ftp on debian is not yet installed. for that I still use Slackware.)

Well, you should never unzip (and probably untar) the libc5 files yourself. Always use dpkg or dselect for that: they will remmeber where the files went so that you can uninstall the packages, and they will mark the libc5 package as installed. Still, I wonder how you can unzip the debian libc5, as it's in .deb format. So, I guess you didn't get the debian libc5 (did the filename end with .deb?). To get recent debian packagres, ftp to ftp.debian.org (or on one to it's mirrors) I still have the problem. You mean, dpkg/dselect complaining that libc5 is not installed? That was expected. -- joost witteveen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I came, I saw, ..., well, it wasn't free so I left again.

: :I installed Debian from Infomagic winter edition. :Dselect worked properly, except it did not configure/install :4 packages. Two of them I mention here: : :tkdesk. The complain is that it depends on xlib. :motifnls. The complain is that it depends on xbaseR6. I've got the very same package and some of the dependencies in that cut seem to be leftovers from earlier versions (ie gets the name wrong), probably corrected in the never distributions. Try to 'dpkg -i --force-depends /path/to/the/package.deb' the motifnls and tkdesk packages. At least the motifnls should be OK this way, since you did have X installed. The tkdesk should be OK too, I've got it working here...

You might need to get rid of the libc5 you installed and get the corresponding .deb package and install that one with dpkg so Debian will know whats installed (if you by unzipping do not mean installing with dpkg...) /Michael -- |Linux: Turn on...Tune in...Fork out... | |Michael Tempsch, member of Ballistic Wizards, TIP#088, TDGP#20 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
