Dear List,
My previous install (local) of AL packages was successful. Earlier i
repeated the exercise to install evolution, abiword and gnumeric but ended up
with error:
mnt/cd/abiword-2.2.7-1.pkg.tar.gz: not present in "" repository
What repository is ""?
I grabbed all dependencies with 'pacman -Syup' and burned 'em in cd then took it
home for install:
Targets: libglade-2.5.1-1 libart-lgpl-2.3.17-1 docbook-xml-4.1.2-2
libxslt-1.1.14-1
scrollkeeper-0.3.14-2 gnome-common-2.8.0-9 libgnomecanvas-2.10.0-1
gail-1.8.3-1
fam-2.7.0-3 orbit2-2.12.2-1 libbonobo-2.8.1-1 gconf-2.10.0-1
shared-mime-info-0.16-1 gnome-mime-data-2.4.2-1 howl-0.9.10-1
cdparanoia-9.8-4
gnome-vfs-2.10.1-1 libgnome-2.10.0-1 libbonoboui-2.8.1-2
gnome-keyring-0.4.2-1
libgnomeui-2.10.0-1 libgnomeprint-2.10.3-1 hicolor-icon-theme-0.5-1
gnome-icon-theme-2.10.1-1 libgnomeprintui-2.10.2-1 gtkhtml-3.6.2-1
libsoup-2.2.3-1
openldap-2.2.24-1 evolution-data-server-1.2.2-1 gal-2.4.2-1
evolution-2.2.2-1
enchant-1.1.6-1 abiword-2.2.7-1 libgsf-1.11.1-2 libgsf-gnome-1.11.1-1
gnumeric-1.4.3-1
Total Package Size: 44.7 MB
In the cd there is packages.txt file from the ftp.archlinux.org/current
directory i copied. The gnome files i retrieved from ftp.ibiblio.org/extra.
It seems like pacman is looking for this text file everytime i do a local
install. Without the file it gives out an error. (Please correct me if im
wrong).
How do i get around this problem? The install wont proceed even if i rename
the abiword.tar.gz to something else. As i will be doing this setup more often
because im on dialup at home, please kindly advise what to do to solve this
problem.
Any other good advise is welcome and appreciated. TIA.
