Oh, so that is what's going on... I installed the tarball yesterday night (
very bad luck, I downloaded it 2 days ago, just missed the new tarball... I
think I will reinstall yet again using the new tarball, since I have all the
packages fetched yesterday ina directory...) andeven gcc is refusing to be
installed... cpp depends on cpp-2.75, etc. I forced the install of it, *apparently*
it worked.
Also I encontered an interesting problem in one failed attempt to install: I run
native-install in multi-user mode twice (Well, Hurd multi-user is the default OS
that Hurd boots, I gor lazy) and packages could not unlik some obscure Indian
zoninfo file that was crwxr-xr-x... lsattr shouted about unrecognised codes. COuldn't
delete. Just rm -rf /gnu from Linux. Worked great :)
Anyway, the whole system seemed much more stable this time... I copied my older gnumach
(since it's compiled to my hardware and the standard one used to freeze it), I will
have to recompile a new version from cvs though, I'm prolly missing things.
Apart from the dependencies problems everything went ok, and even 90% of those were solved
by installing some packages in the first run and then the others. All very nice overall.
I would try to recompile emacs21 for the Hurd, but I have this impressions that it
will not work as expected (the console highlighting thing).
Ahh, the translator fot the net support (pfinet) works much better now. It used
to take 30 seconds to answer, now it's less than 2. Still have to check if it
stays across reboots though,previously I had to set it up manually everytime
(until I made a script for it).
BTW: I'm using sources.list from ftp.de.debian.org, ftp.uk.debian.org, downloads.soureforge.
net (sid and unstable) and alpha.gnu.org (unstable). Will add incoming.
Best Regards,
fsm
