Hi,
I am generating a totally new system using hamm.
My first problem: I guess that something is wrong with with the
link handling in dselect. Namely:
I used ftp.kfki.hu, the nearest to me mirror.
It contains the distribution in /pub/linux/debian, but in pub/linux
it contains a link (as debian). Because of this, the packages are not
found. Then I changed to ftp.at.debian.org, where /debian contains the
same packages, I could have a smooth download.
second:
It is hidden somewhere deeply that the packages must be in
/dists, which, as I learned, is the generic place for them.
However, if I write out the absolute path, it should override
this default. If not, the user should be warned.
Presently it accepts the abssolute path during "Select" and
cannot find the packages during "Install"
third:
there are little inconsistencies in the dependencies.
Some of the problems I experienced:
a: package pinepgp depends on pine
but pine does not appear to be available
The same holds for pgp
b: when selecting xexec, I cannot return to "Select" until I
remove xexec selection
c: guavac suggests but does not show the Java Virtual Machine,
so I cannot select it. The only way is to deselect guavac.
The latter package seems to be not available, as it happens
out later
d: p2c depends on libp2c1, which is not available.
These are the little problems I experienced till know.
I also experienced some missing libraries in the
generated ssystem, but since there were FTP errors,
and 95+% on the disk, I repeated the generation
from scratch.
If I find something, I will let you know, in a separate mail.
Otherwise congratulations, you collected a great material!
Best regards
Janos VEGH
