Hi!



I want to create an "alternate" package for libmysqlclient15off. It
means I tried to create an dvrt-libmysqlclient15off package which can
replace the libmysqlclient15off package in the dependency checks. The
control files relevant part is now:



Package: dvrt-libmysqlclient15off


Section: libs


Architecture: any


Depends: dvrt-mysql-common (>= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends}
Conflicts: libmysqlclient15, libmysqlclient15off
Replaces: libmysqlclient15, libmysqlclient15off
Description: mysql database client library
 MySQL is a fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database
 server. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular database query
 language in the world. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and
 ease of use.


 .


 This package includes the client library.
Provides: libmysqlclient15off


Do you need help?X

But when I try to install a package which depends on
libmysqlclient15off, I get error like this:



server01-vz16:~/packages/mysql/5.0/work/mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.32# apt-get
install libdbd-mysql-perl dvrt-libmysqlclient15off
Reading package lists... Done


Building dependency tree... Done


Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.


The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libdbd-mysql-perl: Depends: libmysqlclient15off (>= 5.0.24-2)
E: Broken packages



What am I doing wrong?



Thanks for any help.

PS: Sorry for my English.



PPS: Changing just the version number of the package and leave it's name
is not an option now.

yep, well maybe not $1000, but a lot anyway. and that was so much ram
how could you ever use it all... I mean that was more than a third of
640K and no way did anybody need more than that,

It's wierd, but I still feel like buying memory is splurging. I've got
a couple machines that could really use another 256-512MB and I can't
quite stomach buying it. I know, I know, as soon as I look at the
prices, I'll realise it's dirt cheap and wonder why I didn't do it
months ago... just a mental block.


Can we help you?X

Can't find what you're looking for?X

Hello,


like the subject says, I want to set up a Debian system on a bootable
external USB hard disk to use with a (normally) Windows laptop. Of course I
could just pop in a netinstall CD on the target computer and do the normal installation
process. However, I have a couple of full-featured Debian PCs and wondered
if I couldn't somehow use them (and their up-to-date package cache) to
accomplish this much quicker. Mind you, I don't need or want a clone of an
existing system; essentially I just want to circumvent the clumsy boot-CD
process and the slow package download.



I can hook up the laptop to a local network with a Debian box. Is it
possible to set up that box as a package repository?



Thanks,


--D.

Changing /etc/samba/smb.conf to:



;   name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast


   name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast



and restarting /etc/init.d/samba made no difference.



"aptitude install winbind" and changing /etc/nsswitch.conf to:


hosts:          files wins dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4
#hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4


made no difference.



When trying to smbmount "faculty", it doesn't matter if I use "faculty" 
or "faculty.acu.edu" or the IP address; same failure each time.

Followup: I've discovered debootstrap and have used it to set up a system on
that mobile disk. I chrooted to that disk (using the procedure from the
debootstrap manpage) and installed a few additional packages with aptitude.
That sort of worked (there were gazillions of error messages about Perl
falling back to the C locale or some such stuff -- don't know if that
matters). Also what puzzled me was that the chroot system immediately wanted
to upgrade many packages -- I mean, all packages had come fresh off the same
server minutes ago.

Anyway, I then rebooted the PC and tried to boot from the USB disk but that
didn't work.

Then, back in my normal system, I mounted the USB disk and discovered that
it had neither a kernel nor a bootloader installed (that ain't much of the=
=20

So to fix that I wanted to chroot into my mounted USB disk again but was
rebuffed:

chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied

WTF? There were no changes to that disk since chroot worked just before the
reboot. I also did the "mount proc" spiel, whatever that's for.

Thanks,
--D.

But interestingly enough, when I try to un-mount this share, it seems to 
unmount (the files are no longer viewable), but the "mount" command 
still lists it as being mounted:

westk@westek:~$ smbumount mnt
westk@westek:~$ mount
<blah blah blah>

Paul,

I had the same issue.  I fixed it by doing two things: 

1.  I used sudo to su to root "sudo su"
2.  As I had a BadCRC reported on a HD, I had to re-configure my 
hardware setup and re-install.

The first is a bandaide.  The 2nd is a shotgun to kill a bug.  Both 
worked.  The source was never found.

Text-mode DOS apps just didn't *need* much RAM.

Ingrained habit.  I can still remember buying a 250MB HDD for $300.
 Now you get 4000x more capacity for the same price.

My desktop has more memory than some of our old still-in-service
workhorse Alphas.  Of course, the less-old Alphas still have 16-32GB
RAM.
