 Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 8:53 am Post subject: Broken packages |
 |
|
Hi. I'm running Xandros Desktop 4.0 Premium. Yesterday I installed Lazarus, a development tool based on Free Pascal, using .deb files from the project site. One package on which lazarus claims to depend could not be found on any of the official repositories. Nevertheless, to my surprise, when I ran Lazarus it worked. I was able to compile a small "hello world" program and that also worked. So I am quite happy with that.
Except that Xandros Networks is now broken. I cannot install any package now because it complains about "broken packages" and tells me to run apt-get -f install. When I do that, it says that it will remove lazarus and the package I had the problem with. Obviously, I don't want it to do that.
Can anyone tell me how to fix the package manager so it will just ignore this problem and allow me to install other stuff? |

Hi. I used the standard and the "Debian unsupported" sources. The file that was not installable was libdbus-1-dev.
I did find this package at another Debian repository but if I try to install that version apt-get says it wants to remove three packages of the Xandros desktop stuff so that is obviously not a good idea! |

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately there does not seem to be versions of libdbus-1-3 or libdbus-1-dev for sarge.
I tried the ones for etch but they seem to depend on newer versions of the libraries:
| Code: | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libdbus-1-3:
libdbus-1-3 depends on libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6); however:
Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4. |
