I suppose they should properly provide java-virtual-machine and the like, which ant depends on. Best, Michael pgpLmnHNOkZXc.pgp Description: PGP signature

Are you sure that the things you want to do work correctly, depency-wise? Well, they had for a long time anyhow. Ant is a java package, and I install java, I just don't know gnu java, I use sun java (which can't live in the main apt repositories cause of the software license). I imagine that at one point in time, Ant wasn't dependent on gcj, but perhaps they added it. Sounds quite reasonable that ant depends on some java base package, and therefore is removed when you throw java base packages away. FAI doesn't circumvent dependencies normally, it uses normal apt and aptitude calls. I am not sure if there is something to force doing things against dependencies. Alright, its not too much of a pain. gcj will install things into my path, I just need to unlink them and put links to the sun java. Nothing a script can't do, sometimes I just wish things wouldn't get "fixed". Thanks, -carl

Problem with package removal...
Hey, I have an issue where a package I am choosing to install is being removed, indirectly when removing a package I don't know. The system didn't used to do this one, but maybe someone fixed the package dependencies or something. So here's my conf file: PACKAGES aptitude AMD64 memtest86+ udev openssh-server rsync cvs cvs2cl mkisofs sudo ntp ntpdate bzip2 vim linux32 ncurses-dev ant ibm-j2sdk1.4 ant-optional libxerces-java libxml-commons-resolver1.1-java python pyro linux-image-2.6.20-fai-client ibm-j2sdk1.4 lm-sensors libsensors3 rpm makedev make ia32-libs PACKAGES aptitude DHCPC dhcp3-client PACKAGES aptitude GRUB grub lilo- PACKAGES aptitude LILO lilo grub- PACKAGES remove gcj-4.1-base libgcj-common libgcj7-0 libgcj7-jar java-gcj-compat Basically, there are several java packages I install for the class AMD64. I dunno exactly what happens, but in the process of all this stuff, gcj-base gets pulled down (or it happens somewhere else). I don't want this package, so I remove it, but this seems to take ant, ant-optional, and a couple other java related packages with it. Is there a way I can tell fai to only remove the packages I explicitly tell it to? -carl -- Carl J. Van Arsdall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Build and Release MontaVista Software
