apt-get issue
I installed medialinux without a problem.
I setup my sources.list to get a clean apt-get update result (i.e., packages counted on list of sites with no err messages)
I wanted to put in the wajig admin package so I did apt-get install wajig and got depend msg with
cloop-utils_1.02-4_i386.deb
ivtools-interviews_1.0.7.-3_i386.deb
ivtools-unidraw_1.0.7.-3_i386.deb
I then setup apt.conf (with default release "unstable") and
reran apt-get update
I then did apt-get install wajig
I had depend msg with
ivtools-unidraw_1.0.7.-3_i386.deb
and python-apt
I then did a apt-get -f install, an apt-get autoclean, then apt-get install wajig
I got depend msg with
cloop-utils_1.02-4_i386.deb
Ithen ran apt-get -f install and it did nothing solve the problem
I then went to /var/cache/apt/archives and
deleted the lock file then I ran
dpkg --force overwrite -i cloop-utils_1.02-4_i386.deb
but it did not work (did it again about 3 times - and am stuck)
does anyone know how I would resolve "cloop-utils_1.02-4_i386.deb" package?
thank you in advance for your support

Are you building you /etc/source.list file from apt-get.org or something?
Wajig is in the standard Debian distro. If you point /etc/sources.list at a Debian mirror you shouldn't get dependency issues.
If you still getting problems then are you running a mixed testing/unstable system? Mixed systems are always prone to dependency problems. You could try 'apt-get -t unstable install wajig' (or subs. testing for unstable), or you could just bite the bullet and do an dist-upgrade to unstable!
hth.

ongoing battle with getting rid of cloop-utils which is badly damaged and should be reinstalled before removing according to dpkg; but there is no reinstall option seperate from the install option so since install does not work, I can't reinstall and then remove.

I install wajig using dpkg and it worked
so I went for
apt-get update (successful)
apt-get upgrade (failed ... same reason as above)
apt-get dist-upgrade (failed ... same reason as above)
apt-get --fix-broken dist-upgrad (failed ... same reason as above)
wajig reinstall cloop-utils (failed ... same reason as above)
wajig purge cloop-utils (failed ... same reason as above)
I go into aptitude and make selections so that I try to remove cloop-utils; failed; tried to install cloop-utils;failed; so I
aptitude -dist-upgrade (failed ... same reason as above)
now I am thinking let me try dpkg again, so I
dpkg --simulate --remove cloop-utils (failed ... same reason as above)

so I think (I am doing a lot of this now) let me fire up dselect: and there I try several times to mark the rascal (aka cloop-utils) for install with suggested selected; failed, mark the rascal for deletion; failed; ok, so let me look at the state of the system, so I
dpkg --audit
RESULTS
The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during
installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:
cloop-utils Tools for handling with cloop compressed volumes
notice it is this one stinking package that's choking me, so I
dpkg -P cloop-utils-bla_bla_bla (failed ... same reason as above)
dpkg -r cloop-utils-bla_bla_bla (failed ... same reason as above)
So I open synaptic and filter on cloop-utils in misc tab and try to reinstall, install, remove; failed, failed, failed. However it was nice to discover that when you use the filter in synaptic you deal only with those packages filtered; in this case the action in synaptic was only act on cloop-utils and keep back everything else basically... I liked this granular control in synaptic, because I use to think it was abit of a loose cannon
Meanwhile back at my problem, I don't know of another darn tool to use.
PREVIEW OF NEXT EPISODE
I have generated a list of packages installed on system which I called mlinuxdebs (the medialinux knoppix variant) because I am now thinking (more of that stuff again)
1. blow away medialinux
2. drop in the latest KNOPPIX (KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-09-24-EN.iso)
3. then run a install from file mlinuxdebs
then I will have a standard knoppix with all the multimedia stuff I thought was a great idea in medialinux (thereby creating a two-flavor knoppix)
Hey if any of you got some ideas/thoughts about all this please share your comments: I am trying to get into debian seriously, and see knoppix as a quick/clean way of doing so... ok this is not what's going on, but after I fix this stuff it will be : the upside being that the package management tools is a must get to know in order to live with debian (and I am new to debian, knoppix is my first (technically the number is now 3) debian install)
I'll be back...
-
well I just want to drop in this followup, since things turned out successfully and wanted to complete this thread.
I reinstalled Knoppix, and I feel I have sorted out the package management problems. The silver bullet to apt-get appears to be the "apt-get upgrade -f" I have tried umteen ways to fix a bad/broken install but this is the one that seems to always work
Whenever I had incomplete installs and issues with apt-get installs I just run "apt-get upgrade -f" over and over until things are fixed and installs have all gone in fine (3 times was the most I have had to use it)
Also, I liked the idea of medialinux and so I did a "dpkg -l" before I blew it away and I went through it and installing all the multimedia apps.
So I have finally settled into the land of Debian (by the way, my real test came when I reviewed the software list for SuSE 9.0 and realized I had most of it and more. There was no urge to cough up $125.00 CAN to get it) I have a great system that is up-to-date and just humming like a charm -- and it's free
Thanks to the people of Debian
you have made my day
I am very greatful for this kick ass monster system...
