I have a dual boot Toshiba Qosmio "laptop?" that I am upgrading from
Lenny
to Squeeze. Everything worked fine (Using Aptitude) until the
installation
of netatalk started; a program that I really don't need. I get:
hostname: Unknown host
First /etc/hostname is filled in. When I attempt to reinstall I get the
same
type of error and the process aborts. When I try to remove or purge the
application I get the same result. An of course, Aptitude won't finish
the
upgrade installation because of this error. I get essentially the same
result with dpkg. How can I get out of this mess. Help!
Take a look at the netatalk maintainer scripts in "/var/lib/dpkg/info"
to see why they are failing.
The /bin/hostname is not returning the hostname. Is this a bug?
Check "/etc/hostname" and "/etc/init.d/hostname.sh" and whether there
is an Sxxhostname.sh in "/etc/rcS.d".
All of the above were true. I have meticulously removed netatalk from
the system a piece at a time using the information in
/var/lib/dpkg/info. The problem now seems to be the Aptitude database.
Netatalk is marked with a Cp code and won't do anything until it tries
to process netatalk. Of course, it immediately errors out. How can I
change the Aptitude database manually. Running aptitude keep-all just
generates the same type of errors as everything else and doesn't do
nothing. I would love to reinstall Aptitude at this point but that
doesn't work either.
