Knoppix 7.0.2-EN DVD notes & comments

[ruymbeke]

Hi Capricorny,
Thank you very much for offering a fix proposal. I tried it and I found two problems:

sudo stripdb.sh /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-33_i386.deb

The first one is a typo in your modified Klaus2008's recipe: stripdb.sh ==> stripdeb.sh
(to match the location of the /usr/local/bin/stripdeb.sh script)

dpkg -i libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev

The second: dpkg -i complains about not finding the archive, please see the log below:

dpkg -i libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev
dpkg: error processing libc-bin (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libc-dev-bin (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing libc6-dev (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc-bin
libc-dev-bin
libc6
libc6-dev

Best Regards,
Gilles

Right you are, Gilles!
This reporting was very quickly done, a bit too fast.
What I actually ran was

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get -d -t unstable install libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6 libc6-dev  
sudo stripdeb.sh /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-33_i386.deb  

sudo chvt 1 
init 2
# The other libs were correctly installed already, next line implicit - didn't run it
# sudo apt-get -y -t unstable --reinstall install libc-bin libc-dev-bin libc6-dev 

# Give dpkg exact file address
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.13-33_i386.deb 

chroot /UNIONFS/ 
apt-get -t unstable -f install  
exit  

init 5  
chvt 5  

sudo apt-get -y -t unstable install gcc-4.6-multilib g++-4.6-multilib

But I wasn't able to copy from the chvt 1 commands, thus only edited the line from the recipe. apt-get may possibly be used, but told not to download again? It just downloaded the unmodified .deb libc6 over the modified one for me.
The most robust thing to do might be to adjust the dpkg command.

PS: The autoformatting here REALLY SUCKS!
