I borked my debian 3.1 VPS, last minute resuscitation attempts before I dump new image on it?
Hello list, I got me a VPS from gplhost.com. First thing I did was installing Debian sarge on it, second thing I did was playing smarty pants and adding _everything_ from backports.org. I've gone ahead with (children: Don't try this at home!) : <<< cat 'deb http://www.backports.org/debian sarge-backports main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources cat 'Package: * Pin: release a=sarge-backports Pin-Priority: 950' >> /etc/apt/preferences aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade (yes, yes, yes, ok, sure, why not, ok, come on... yalla) The some package (I think it was openssh-server) had some unresolved dependencies, so I'm trying to calm things down by going back into "vanilla" sarge. I've rm'ed /etc/apt/preferences and commented out backports from sources.list.

Any ideas ?
Could "Z4=`expr $Z3; + 9`" be the problem?
It basically says:
1. Evaluate $Z3
2. Wait for expr to finish
3. execute "+" with 9 as $1 parameter.

Hi, I have two packages (lets call them A and B). They both create a user in the installation scripts. I'm now creating another package (named C) which should depend on the existence of the user created by A or B. I've tried writing in C's spec file: Requires: A | B which is similar to the debian layout, but got an error. example: # apt-cache show apt | grep Suggests Suggests: aptitude | synaptic | gnome-apt | wajig, dpkg-dev, apt-doc, bzip2 So I tried "Requires: A / B", which pass rpmbuild, but I don't think it gave me the result I wanted. Any advices on how it's done properly? Thanks. p.s. I've intentionally took the example of a user creation, because it's not a file, and I didn't want to be told to use a file dependency. -- Lior Kaplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.Guides.co.il = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
re: laptop
Imho HP have a good money/value ratio. Bug has some of them. Try here: http://www.bug.co.il/productpage.asp?c=320&t=20 You should get as much warranty as possible (without paying extra). HP also runs Linux w/o problems usually.

laptop
Please, your advice about buying a laptop, to replace my wife's desktop: two desktops are too much for our small appartment. Required: reliability, large and bright display, netcard (for connection with cable) a minimum of 512 MB ram, cpu better than Celeron (which , I was told, gives off a lot of heat). Not important: battery quality and life and weight (we do not intend to take it out of the appartment), speed of monitor response (we are not gamers). We also do not download and play music or movies-which relaxes some other requirements. It will mainly be used for office and surfing applications, by my wife, on MS windows. Linux compatibility and fax card are plusses, but not required. Beside recomandations about make and type I would appreciate hints about where to look for and buy it in Jerusalem, as I have to see if the display is good enough for our old eyes.

OpenOffice Hebrew encoding
This is probably trivial, but I haven't been able to find it. On a new install of OpenOffice on Mandriva 2007, I can see Hebrew only when using CLM fonts. Any other font is displayed as BOXES. For example David CLM works but David doesn't. Same for Arial, Miriam or any other font I've tried. I never had this problem before, and in fact on my other Linux boxes evertyhing works fine. I can't seem to find what I did wrong this time, or what I configured differently on this box. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail (KDE 3.5.4) on LINUX Mandriva 2007 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
