kpackage doesn't work in V3.2-2003-03-30de
I have installed knoppix 3.2 (03-03-30de) on the hd using knx-hdinstall. There was a message like "cp cannot stat ./alternatives/openoffice" everything else seems ok. I had no problems working withs the system afterwards.
When I tried to change some packages I couldn't use kpackage. There is no problem starting kpackage. The apt-update is working to.
But whenever I try to add, upgrade or remove a package I get the message "exec failed: No such file or directory" without further information.
Does anybody know what is missing? How can I fix this problem?

I noticed the same thing. I hope someone knows how to fix this. Untill then I am currently using synaptic. Do
apt-get update
apt-get install synaptic
synaptic
It is not as nice as KPakage but works great with Knoppix on everything I have tested it with.

Personally I prefer Synaptic.

Thank you for your help.
After I had installed synaptic I could install postgresql instead of mysql.
But I run into problems when I tried to install webmin.
I couldn`t do it with synaptic or apt-get. Apt-get gives the information
that the installation isn't possible due to missing perl packages.
The same installation in knoppix 3.1 03-01-23 wasn't a problem.
I have the impression that there are bugs in the apt configuration.
Could this be the problem ?

Kpackage continues to not work
Kpackage continues to not work , i have downloaded the lastest versions and this problem continues. Does anyone have a solution? Have the authors read about this problem as for my point of view this is a major step backward as it does not permit me to implement updates or the installation of new programs resulting in limiting substantially the future of Knoppix.

Hi,
I have the same problem:
Code:
exec failed: no such file or directory
whenever I try to install a package.
The rest of this new version of knoppix is gorgeous so far !

You can't install packages without Kpackage? Kpackage works fine for me but I think it's more trouble than it's worth. IMHO it would be advantageous to learn to do things without the GUI. I realize that if you are accustomed to windows point and click mentality this may seem to be difficult but it really isn't. You can use apt-get, you can download .debs and use Midnight Commander to install them. It is very easy to install packages from source as well.

Well, for me kpackage is a very nice way to browse thru the thousands of debian pkgs there are and choose which ones to install. It saves me time, which is something I have so little of nowadays...
and IMO dselect is a pain. Apt works nice for small numbers of packages but for browsing thru the listings...kpackage.
Thought I this problem licked earlier. A fresh install solved it but after running updates it came back. Still no idea what's going on here. Sigh. Any ideas anyone?

(BTW, I'm new to Knoppix and this forum, although not to Linux - thanks guys! Knoppix is really slick! )

I have the same problem
I received from kpakage the same error. Currently I am working with $dselect, it is not too beautiful but works.
