I am following the same Tutorial, along with other things, and am at
the virtual alias maps section.  I do not have the problems you show
below.  




How far into the Tutorial are you when you got the below messages?

Do you need help?X

postfix & postfix-mysql 2.4.3-1



but the below coments "should" still be valid.

Do you have a file called /etc/aliases?  What is in it?
Check out the postalias man page.   man postalias



I am adapting the Tutorial to testing so this may not mean anything,
but at the point I am in the tutorial, I do not have a
/etc/mail/aliases.db file either.  



Greping for "aliases" in the /etc/postfiix dir, I only come up with
/etc/aliases in the main.cf file.  I do have an aliases and a
aliases.db file, but in /etc/.

Message-Id: <080720071647.16230.46B8A215000DC9F500003F66220730003308099A0E0B0B0703D20D010D@comcast.net>

Hi,
I'm trying to install OpenNMS on the latest version of Debian.  I'm using the How-To from here: http://www.netstatz.com, and I'm at this point: http://www.netstatz.com/xenonms/Debian_ONMS_HOWTO_2.4-3.html#ss3.3

When I run:  apt-get install opennms opennms-doc opennms-contrib tomcat4-webapps tomcat4-admin

I get: Reading Package list...done followed by building dependency tree...Done 

and on the next line I get: E: Couldn't find package tomcat4-webapps

I suppose what this is telling me is that via apt-get from the OpenNMS site, I can't get tomcat4-webapps.  When I go to the OpenNMS FTP server I see they have rpm's of this package and the Tomcat package, but I don't think this helps me.

If I look in the Debian package manager, I see choices for Tomcat5, but OpenNMS can't use Tomcat5.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get tomcat4-webapps installed so I can move on?

The whole reason I'm building this Debian box is for running OpenNMS.


Thanks,
Bob

apt-cache search is your friend.

andrew@basement:~$ apt-cache search php interpreter
gs-esp - The Ghostscript PostScript interpreter - ESP version
kmflcomp - KMFL Compiler
libapache-mod-suphp - Apache module to run php scripts with the owner
permissions
libapache2-mod-suphp - Apache2 module to run php scripts with the

libkmflcomp0 - KMFL compiler library
php5 - server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (meta-package)

php5-cli - command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language
scummvm - free implementation of LucasArts' S.C.U.M.M interpreter
suphp-common - Common files for mod suphp

apt-cache show php5-cli.... probably not installed.

tomcat4 is no longer available in etch. You could try installing it
directly from apache.org, or consider setting up a sarge installation
instead.

Okay, it is definitly showing 8086 10c0, but lspci does not recognize it.
Here's the line:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Unknown device 10c0 (rev 02)

So it is definitly there, but the driver isn't working...

Using apt-cdrom is enough as far as I know; it will add the apt source entry
and create the list of what packages are on the CD so apt knows what is there.
Whether you upgrade (using "apt-get upgrade" or "apt-get dist-upgrade") using
the newly available packages is up to you.

Ok, mine are found at /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd and they're mount

No, they are not PHP files; they are Matlab functions. You should be
able to run them using Octave. I had to change line 43 of
McCabeThiele.m, from AXIS (capital) to axis (lower case).
This way it displayed a graph started without parameters. Since I'm
an electronic engineer and in no way familiar with distillation (except
the final products, that is), I have no idea what output the function
should provide.

$PATH is an environment variable like any other and gets assigned a
value in the same way as any other. export is used to make a variable
available to other processes that come after the one spawned by the
assignment process. Thus any process that is a child of the parent of
the export statement gets access to that variable.=20
so this is just three actions jammed together and its processed in a way
better expressed like this:

export ( assign the value of (concatenating ~/script: and ( the expanded
value of PATH )) to PATH )

using standard mathematical parenthesis precedence.=20

start with the inner parenthesis: expand the value of PATH, that is
what PATH is current assigned. Next parenthesis, concatenate ~/script:
and the previous result (the value of PATH). Next parenthesis, assign
the previous result (concatenationg) to the variable PATH. Next
parenthesis, export that value to the next level up in the hierarchy
so that other processes can access it.=20

This assignment will only exist in the shell in which it
executed. When you exit that shell, it will disappear along with that
shell.  That's why you put somewhere where it will get started for
every shell...

next comes lisp ;)

Yes, it will be; for you and for people that have a /scripts directory
in their home folders. It will not do any harm for the ones who don't,
but it's not a nice solution.
I would rather you checked your ~/.bash_profile file.

The dependencies look OK to me: Your output below shows that the new
version of lib32stdc++6 requires gcc-4.2-base version 4.2-20070712-1,
which is the version currently in Lenny. The root of your problem seems
to be a known bug of lib32z1 (fixed in the meantime) which blocks the
installation of libc6-i386 (and everything else).

Something about the meaning of the words "testing" and "Ubuntu" comes to

You can run "LANG=3DC somecommand" and you will get the messages of

Most likely this is only a consequence of the lib32z1 problem and will
go away as soon as the latter is fixed.

dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-i386_2.6-2_amd64.deb

followed by

apt-get install -f

should fix this.

That is to be expected if you try to remove important system libraries
and related packages.

No, this is not what aptitude does, unless it is used by someone who
does not understand the Debian packaging system and who has not bothered
to read aptitude's excellent documentation (available in four
languages).

These are Matlab scripts. PHP is wrong information on the website you
mention.

Your best bet is to run in using GNU Octave on Debian GNU/Linux.

apt-get install octave2.9

apt-cdrom is enough. Even you don't need apt-get update.
