Package: crosshurd Version: 1.7.20 Severity: important -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Hello, I wanted to try Debian GNU/Hurd and so I installed crosshurd. BTW, I found IMHO a very useful Debian-related HowTo at [1], which is not mentioned in the README.gnu. Maybe could it be added? Here what I did: 1) create space for a new 1GB partition (with resize2fs and fdisk, as parted cannot resize ext3, see bug #323438) 2) mke2fs -O sparse_super -o hurd /dev/hda10 3) removed the ftp.gnuab.org entry in /etc/crosshurd/sources.list/gnu (I cannot resolve ftp.gnuab.org neither gnuab.org) Here the crosshurd output error: ===== dpkg-architecture: warning: Specified GNU system type i486-gnu does not match gcc system type i486-linux-gnu. Get:1 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable Release.gpg [189B] Get:2 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable Release [34.1kB] Get:3 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages [1747kB] Fetched 1781kB in 1s (1353kB/s) Reading package lists... Done Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Package slang1 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 However the following packages replace it: libslang1 E: Package slang1 has no installation candidate Failed to download the .deb's. gismo:/home/luca# ===== So, as in unstable libslang1 replaced slang1, I modified /etc/crosshurd/packages/common to reflect it, bu I got more errors: ===== gismo:/home/luca# crosshurd <cug> The following packages have unmet dependencies: debianutils: PreDepends: coreutils (>= 4.5.8-1) but 4.5.3-1 is to be installed inetutils-ping: Depends: netbase but it is not going to be installed inetutils-syslogd: Depends: netbase but it is not going to be installed util-linux: PreDepends: slang1a-utf8 (> 1.4.4-7.1) E: Broken packages Failed to download the .deb's. gismo:/home/luca# ===== - - debianutils: Following bug #285123, I dropped my /etc/apt/apt.conf and retried, but the error remains. Indeed, debianutils_2.13.2_hurd-i386 depends on coreutils (>= 4.5.8-1) (while coreutils_4.5.3-1_hurd-i386). - - ineutils-ping and inetutils-syslogd: netbase depends on ifupdown (not installable for hurd-i386), so adding netbase to /etc/crosshurd/packages/common is a no way. - - util-linux: util-linux_2.12-3_hurd-i386 stills pre-depends on slang1a-utf8, while the latest 2.12p-5_i386 pre-depends on libslang2. So, I cannot install Debian GNU/Hurd via crosshurd :-( Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://www.pick.ucam.org/~mcv21/hurd.html - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-rc6 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages crosshurd depends on: ii dialog 1.0-20050306-1 Displays user-friendly dialog boxe ii dpkg-dev 1.13.10 Package building tools for Debian Versions of packages crosshurd recommends: pn attr <none> (no description available) - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDAx2WVAp7Xm10JmkRAt1yAJ4+DJdBsDI1r7tEP/GlxmD32X97hgCfThWf PrC4B+QgBfQFDFMRVmiQJg8= =VgEM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
