Corrected Cheap*bytes autoup.sh script
Upon request, here's the updated script sent to me by Cheap*Bytes:
[For anyone reading this in the archives:
The original Official 2.0 CD-Rom distributed by Cheap*Bytes contained the
cd_autoup.sh file included by Debian with the distribution. The script
was broken at the time the dist. was set--several libraries were not in
locations the script expected. This updated script now properly locates
the needed libraries to do an out-of-the-box upgrade. In addition, the
original cd_autoup.sh required the user to cd several layers down into the
CD before executing the script. The modified script does not have this
requirment and merely requests the location of the cdrom's mount point.]
#! /bin/sh
# upgrade a libc5 (bo) machine to libc6 (hamm).
# The cd version of this script is designed to run from from a top level
# directory of the Official Debian 2.0 CD without any input from the user
# execept as required by dpkg installation scripts.

autoup.sh fails when upgrading bo - hamm
I am trying to upgrade from bo to hamm so I can run the new bash and try wine. I run autoup.sh and it ftp'ed the files needed for the upgrade. It failed to get me the file libstdc++2.8_*.deb This is what it wrote 250 CWD command successful. Local directory now /tmp/libs libstdc++2.8_*.deb: No such file or directory. 250 CWD command successful. I looked around the ftp.debian.org site in the hamm directories but didn't find a libstdc++2.8_*.deb Where can I find this file? And I thought autoup.sh would work without any problems after so many people have successfully done the bo - hamm upgrade. Just my luck to have it fail on me. The autoup.sh I have is v 0.27 1998/05/29. I got it from http://www.debian.org/2.0/autoup/ Is this too old a version to be using or what? Any help is appreciated. jmb -- Jones MB : [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ziplink.net/~jonesmb/ Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Re: autoup.sh fails when upgrading bo - hamm
I got the same message when I tried to run autoup.sh. However, I was trying to run it on a hamm system instead of trying to do an upgrade from bo. This is because I'm a newbie and don't know what I'm doing yet. Nonetheless, thought I'd let everyone know I saw the error also.

Re: autoup.sh v0.28 released
Now you tell me about the autoup.sh v0.28 upgrade :-) Yesterday I did some more hunting and found the 2 packages that autoup.sh v0.27 expected to be in libs - I found them in base. I downloaded them and autoup'ed again. It installed everything but it still complained about some conflicts. After that I did dselect to complete the process. There were some more complaints along the way (fvwm compface) but dselect went thru all the way to the end. The system even came up after the reboot!! So far most apps seem to work. What failed to work is fvwm and netscape and StarOffice - 3 apps that I probably use the most. Not a good thing!! If I bring up fvwm via startx/.xinitrc it fails with a Seg fault. If it comes up thru xdm/.xsession it works ok. Wierd as my ~/.xsession is just a sym link to ~/.xinitrc I remember reading somewhere that there is a netsape that works with libc6. Guess it is time to do some web searching for it. What can I do about StarOffice? I had StarOffice 4 working before the upgrade. I also see the rvplayer which I guess will solve my previous problems. This bo-hamm upgrade is a less hairy process than the documentation implies. ok enough rambling. jmb v0.28: 1998-07-23 (Craig Sanders) - libstdc++2.8 has moved from libs/ to base/ - libnet-perl has moved from interpreters/ to base/ as usual, it is available from http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ (primary site) ftp://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/ and http://taz.net.au/autoup/ autoup.tar.gz on the primary site has also been updated with all the latest versions of stuff from hamm. it weighs in at 9.1MB and includes: -r--r--r-- root/root450820 1998-07-17 07:55 bash_2.01.1-3.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 13912 1997-05-08 00:00 data-dumper_2.07-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root166586 1998-06-23 20:41 dpkg-dev_1.4.0.23.2.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 13544 1998-04-28 09:46 dpkg-ftp_1.4.9.6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 21946 1998-05-12 11:04 dpkg-mountable_0.7.deb -r--r--r-- root/root341616 1998-06-23 20:41 dpkg_1.4.0.23.2.deb -r--r--r-- root/root181344 1998-05-22 08:56 ldso_1.9.9-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root284268 1998-06-12 12:21 libc5_5.4.38-1.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root580872 1998-07-17 08:26 libc6_2.0.7t-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root254826 1997-10-07 13:55 libg++272_2.7.2.8-0.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root235522 1998-06-08 10:42 libg++27_2.7.2.1-14.4.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 17296 1998-05-25 12:29 libgdbm1_1.7.3-25.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 17230 1998-05-25 12:29 libgdbmg1_1.7.3-25.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 65308 1997-04-28 00:00 libnet-perl_1.0502-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 69678 1998-07-17 07:55 libreadline2_2.1-10.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 75864 1998-07-17 07:55 libreadlineg2_2.1-10.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 94784 1998-07-02 08:10 libstdc++2.8_2.90.29-0.6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 1340204 1998-07-17 08:26 locales_2.0.7t-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root111006 1998-04-16 11:09 ncurses3.0_1.9.9e-2.1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root124368 1998-07-17 09:51 ncurses3.4_1.9.9g-8.8.deb -r--r--r-- root/root350948 1998-07-17 07:56 netbase_3.11-1.deb -r--r--r-- root/root611710 1998-07-05 22:07 netstd_3.07-2.deb -r--r--r-- root/root282680 1998-06-08 10:47 perl-base_5.004.04-6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 3125884 1998-06-08 10:47 perl_5.004.04-6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 84354 1998-07-02 12:19 slang0.99.34_0.99.38-6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root 83902 1998-07-02 12:19 slang0.99.38_0.99.38-6.deb -r--r--r-- root/root261268 1998-07-17 08:26 timezones_2.0.7t-1.deb craig -- craig sanders -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
I have upgraded from 1.3.1 to hamm with some difficulty, but feel like I'm getting there. My latest problem is that when invoking emacs from a console, I get segmentation fault, and no emacs. I don't believe that emacs was upgraded during the deselect process so I suspect that the version I had (v19.34.?) requires the old libc, though I realy don't understand the issues here. How do I rectify this? By running deselect and upgrading Emacs. I'm loath to try that since emacs is huge and a download would be epic, but if absolutely necessary I will. If it matters, My upgrade went like this: -autoup.sh -deselect with ACCESS UPDATE, INSTALL (No SELECT) -several more iterations of INSTALL since the first ones resulted in brokenly uninstalled packages. -dselect and running SELECT to get X running (but that's another posting...) Now deselect reports no brokenly installed packages and I believe that all the necessary packages are now installed. So again, how do I fix emacs? Thanx in advance.

Re: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
I should mention that in the deselect screen, there are headings for packages that are headed as obsolete, one being emacs. Does this mean what I think: that emacs 19.34.? is now obsolete because I've upgraded around it and now it needs upgrading too? Probobly. There are some other packages labeled obsolete as well. How should this be handled? One other question: Where can I get a CD in the Denver area? I would order a CD of 2.0 but it seems to still be in a state of flux and I don't want to have a CD which may or may not have a fully stable Debian system. Thanx, Ed On Wed, 8 Jul 1998, Edward J.

Re: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
i had the same thing happen and i had selected to upgrade emacs to 20.xx...made a mess. it was the only really broken package. had been wanting to check out xemacs so ended up purging emacs and installing xemacs-20.whatever and like it. anyway, suspect you will need to purge emacs and do a clean install. i had to abandon dselect and use dpkg to remove emacs, then ftp'd xemacs packages and used dpkg to install them. best--c On Wed, 8 Jul 1998, Edward J.

RE: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
Ok, I'm still confused... Emacs? Not part of the current distribution? This is alarming. I'm not sure what you mean by not to worry since the upgrade has broken Emacs and now it is catagorized as obsolete meaning it is not part of the current distrubution. I'm certain that there must be a way to fix emacs in hamm. Is it by using Deselect, and just selecting it for upgrade? (a loathsome download nightmare). Perhaps I should get a clue on the use of dpkg or apt since it seems most on this list avoid deselect in favor of dpkg if only one package is to be installed, emacs in this case.

RE: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
Thanx for the fast replies. I'd like to have two emacsen if possible or one that will fit the bill for both purposes. The machine I'm working on upgrading is going to be an experimental Amateur radio packet machine and is somewhat minimalist. (486 dx66 w 8Megs, ~600Megs HD) I want to be able to run emacs from the console occasionaly and from X normaly. I've never used Xemacs but I doubt it will run from the console, but I've heard good things about it. Currently, X isn't working and until I get X working on this machine (a whole nother thread) I'd like to try it as long as it will coexist with GNU Emacs. Any comments or caveats or experiences here?

On Wed, 8 Jul 1998, Young, Ed wrote: Ok, I'm still confused... Emacs? Not part of the current distribution? This is alarming. No, that's not what I meant. IIRC, there was once emacs and now there are emacs19 and emacs20 and no plain emacs. If you have a bo emacs package, you could/should replace it by one of the hamm versions (I don't use it, so am not sure what differences there are between the two). I'm not sure what you mean by not to worry since the upgrade has broken Emacs and now it is catagorized as obsolete meaning it is not part of the current distrubution. I'm certain that there must be a way to fix emacs in hamm. Is it by using Deselect, and just selecting it for upgrade? (a loathsome download nightmare). Probably the safest thing to do would be to run dselect and select emacs19. This conflicts with emacs and the old version will be removed when the newer one is installed. According to the Packages file, emacs19 shows this conflict, while emacs20 does not and would not remove the older version. They don't appear to conflict with each other, so presumably one could have both. Perhaps I should get a clue on the use of dpkg or apt since it seems most on this list avoid deselect in favor of dpkg if only one package is to be installed, emacs in this case. I typically use dselect with the apt method or apt-get. apt-get can determine dependencies and will get the necessary packages, which is an improvement over dpkg.

Both emacs and xemacs run fine on both the console and under X-windows. Xemacs is somewhat spiffier under X, and comes with more packages pre- installed than emacs. All four of the emacsen packages can be installed simultaneously, thanks to the hard work of several Debian developers.

Re: two suggestions re autoup.sh
Hi, It's not my script - that honor belongs to Craig Sanders [EMAIL PROTECTED], who saw the need and developed it. I made some minor contributions, and wrote the README. The necessity of running dselect several times is a dpkg/dselect issue that is well known, and is mentioned in install.txt (which comes with the boot floppies) and other documents. I agree that it would be useful to repeat this advice in the script's closing message and in the README. If these are revised again before release, I will try to include that information. The predepends problems are a result of the way dpkg/dselect handle installation. The new dpkg interface apt (formerly deity) uses much more sophisticated ordering algorithms, and eliminates or minimizes such problems. autoup.sh is intended to perform the critical upgrades necessary to make it safe to used dpkg/dselect for the balance of the installation. Modifying it to eliminate predepends problems later would be extending its functionality beyond the purposes for which it was intended. Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

This will make no difference to most users, it is only useful for people maintaining autoup mirror sites. v0.27: 1998-05-29 (Craig Sanders) - changed 'ln' to 'ln -s' and 'tar cfz' to 'tar chfz' so that the tarball can be created even if the local debian mirror and the autoup directory are on different filesystems. and here's the diff: ---cut here--- --- autoup.sh 1998/04/21 00:10:08 0.25 +++ autoup.sh 1998/05/29 01:50:24 0.27 @@ -2,11 +2,21 @@ # upgrade a libc5 (bo) machine to libc6 (hamm). # -# $Id: autoup.sh,v 0.25 1998/04/21 00:10:08 root Exp $ +# $Id: autoup.sh,v 0.27 1998/05/29 01:50:24 root Exp $ # # based on Scott Ellis' excellent Debian libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO # document at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html +# +# Command line options: +# +# --make-tarfiles create tarball of debian packages INSTEAD of +# doing the upgrade.

A few thing... libpthread0 needs to be removed, or libc6 doesn't install libg++ needs to be removed, or libg++272 Does libc6-dev need to be installed? I'm adding it, but I don't know. I can have a hacked and working autoup.sh for ftp in about 30 mins if the machine gets upgraded correctly.. :) Tim -- (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] / (home) [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.buoy.com/~tps Very Pete Townshendish.

Does libc6-dev need to be installed? I'm adding it, but I don't know. it's not needed. most people will probably want it installed, but that's what dselect is for. the script only installs the bare minimum required, and leaves everything else to dselect. autoup.tar.gz is already 7MB in size. libc6-dev would add another ~800K.
