problems updating from sarge: msg#00194linux.agnula.general
Hi, I finally ditched gentoo yesterday, and installed debian in the time it would have taken to fix the problems and compile the right packages for my system. Hmmmm, nothing new here I suppose. Anyway, then I remembered about demudi. It looks like the website is down, but I can still access the repository and mirrors. I found: http://www.mirror.ac.uk/mirror/www.agnula.org/1.2/1.2.0/README.FAQ which tells me in section 8 that I can upgrade my sarge distribution to include demudi, but when I follow the directions, I get errors. # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirror.direct.ca/linux/debian/ testing main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main deb http://apt.agnula.org/demudi testing main local extra # apt-get install demudi-install demudi-base Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package demudi-install is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package demudi-install has no installation candidate (and I get a similar error when I try just demudi-base). Is this a problem? I am able to do `apt-get install demudi' and also grab a kernel. As a little nitpick, the next step could be clearer too, and say: # apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-multimedia-<Type> instead of # apt-get install alsa-modules-2.4.25-1-multimedia- (although it should be obvious, I still messed up). Finally, I don't have the cfagent-demudi or upgrade-demudi scripts on my system. I do have demudi-cfagent and demudi-upgrade. demudi-cfagent seems to run fine, but when I try to run demudi-upgrade, it says: /usr/sbin/demudi-upgrade: line 16: debconf-get-selections: command not found and debconf-get-selections doesn't seem to be a package I can install (I do have debconf-set-selections on my system). Sooooooooooo ... what should I do? I would be okay with blowing everything away and restarting from the 1.2.0 CD, if that's going to fix things. As far as I understand, demudi is just some extra specially maintained packages on top of debian testing. Is it a problem if I use a current testing? I notice http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2004/07/14/debian/ testing main contrib non-free is meant to be in /etc/apt/sources.list in section 9, whereas I have a current mirror specified. Cheers, Chris |
