Re: libsc7_2.3.1-3_amd64.deb problems

2008-05-07 Thread Francesco Pietra
Hi:

#apt-get --purge remove libsc8 libsc-doc libsc-dev libsc7

completed by synaptic removal of libsc-doc (which was not removed by the above 
command)
followed by
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade

now only reports errors 

exim4-daemon-ligth
at
exim4
bsd-mailx
acpid
mailx

which (as from Floria Kulzer) seems be bug #477258, which has been fixed in Sid 
since April 25,
exim4 version 4.69-3. The bug report describes how to repair the init
script yourself. (So far the fix did not propagate to Lenny because
there have been further updates in Sid, restarting the 10 days waiting
period.)

I do nothing more if, as I expect, apt-get upgrade will do the repair in due 
time.

Why these errors did not show up of amd64 when the system complained about 
libsc7 is something I do not understand. I got the impression that the libsc7 
deb package is faulty.

Thanks
francesco

 that it is a bug fixed in unstable, not yet passed to
 lenny.
 
 Try doing:
 
 dpkg --purge libsc8
 apt-get install libsc7
 
 If the dpkg fails, then something must still be using it.

I have tried with synaptic.

(1) marking libsc8 (which was installed) for removal and unmarking 
libsc7_2.3.1-3_amd64.deb (which was not installed), a dist-upgrade is carried 
out, ending in the same error:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libsc7_2.3.1-3_amd64.deb trying to overwrite
'/usr/lib/libSCstates.so.7.1.0' whi is also in package libsc8.

Now marking libsc-dev for removal returns errors:

E: exim-daemon-light subprocesses post-installation script returned error exit 
status 1

E: exim4 depend problem

E: bds-mailx dep problem

E: acpid subprocess post-install error 1

E: mailx dep problem

I.e, it drops now in the same errors that I had reported for i386. Florian

  Hi:
  Sorry for this lengthy dealing with libsc7/libsc8,
 though I would like to clean the system, i.e. not to have
 these issues raised at each apt-get upgrade.
 Actually, now apt-get upgrade only results in:
  
  Reading package list ...Done
  Building dependency tree ... Done
  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to
 correct.
  Packages with unmet dependencies:
  libsc-dev: Depends: libsc7 (= 2.3.1-3) but it is not
 installed.
  
  It seems to be unable to upgrading, unless there is
 nothing else.
  
  I think that I don't need either libsc7 or libsc8.
 Both come from The Scientific Computing Toolkit
 (Sandja Lab, mpqc) an extraordinary quantum mechanical
 package that I used successfully, but one that
 unfortunately is not being developed toward organic
 chemical applications. Therefore I don't use it any
 more. There is a relationship with ghemical
 that I don't use either on this amd64 system (I barely
 run 'startx' on rare occasions)
  
  I did some search:
  
  apt-cache rdepends libsc7
  ENTER
  Reverse Depends:
  mpqc-support
  mpqc
  libsc-dev
  libghemical3gf
  
  apt-cache rdepends libsc8
  ENTER
  Reverse Depends:
  [nothing reported]
  
  If I carry out the same commands with i386 (where mpqc
 is still installed), for libsc7 there is one line more
 libghemical0c2a, while for libsc8 the answer is
 no package found.
 
 Well mpqc seems to use it too.  It seems odd that libsc8
 conflicts with
 libsc7, in fact I would think that is a bug and should be
 reported as
 such.  If nothing else it should conflict if it can't
 be installed at
 the same time.
