In the process of trying to compile/install these packages, I've run into some difficulties. Here are some of them: apt -- Package on pehc and .iso do not work. Missing lots of helper apps. Seeing as apt was broken, I decided to download the woody version of apt so I can get a newer version and hopefully skip some steps in building the above packages. gcc 2.96 and apt-0.3.19 don't get along, so I tried picking it up from cvs (supposed to have been fixed). Follow the directions on cvs.debian.org $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/APT login (Logging in to anonymous@cvs.debian.org) CVS password:=20 cvs login: authorization failed: server cvs.debian.org rejected access Anyone know if there are other instructions other than what cvs.debian.org says? If so, feel free to email me rsync -- ldd crashes on dpkg-shlibdepends stage Can I just manually put the required dependancies in? autoconf -- installinfo spins When installing the autoconf package (to compile dpkg) installinfo spins. And after several minutes still doesn't return. It's taking up 100% cpu at the time. If I abort this, autoconf seems to be installed but cannot generate the dpkg configure properly, some macros are missing AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_CPLUSPLUS, test "$CXX" !=3D "") Is in the ./configure script. info -- Reinstall spins If I try to reinstall info, it spins on the uninstall. 100% cpu. If anyone has any solutions for any of the above problems, I am all ears (eyes?). - Paul --PW0Eas8rCkcu1VkF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6Guwc8ggPQthPCzcRAgkGAJ9TzClXOg009RWO/v09ONBNnxJcbgCfcWcX gj26osR06BqyJ0O+/Q83csk= =YHRW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PW0Eas8rCkcu1VkF--
