Hallo everyone,
I need to get my Debian 2.0 box on the Novell network at work. I found
the
Caldera NetWare stuff including the client software for a GNU/Linux system. Now
I have
a couple of problems with this, first it's in .rpm format. That's ok because
'alien' converts
everything to .deb format, second it's libc5. I was trying to avoid all libc5
stuff because I
didn't want to get confused over library versions.
So does anyone know of a libc6 version?
While I try to convert the nwclient to .deb format I hit a problem and
I don't know
how to solve it. This is what I did.
alien --to-deb nwclient-4.1.6-4.i386.rpm
first it complained about the missing libc5 library, so I installed that, the
it complained about
a missing libstdc++.so.27, so I figured that the closest thing to this was
libstdc++.so.2.7.2 so I
did,
ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++2.7.2 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.27
and now it's giving the following error,
gzip: usr/man/man8/nwdelqjob.8.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged
gzip: usr/man/man8/nwlogin.8.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged

alien: Package build failed.
I'm not too worried about the "-- unchanged" lines, but the dpkg-shlibdeps
failure is a
problem. As this is 'unsupported' I can't exactly ask caldera and I don't
really want to join
another mailing list.
They do waffle on about adding streams and stuff to the kernel, but I
don't quite
know if that is just if you're configuring a GNU/Linux - NetWare server of what.
All help gratefully received.
