Re: [debian-knoppix] Howto update Knoppix cleanly for re-mastering?
Hallo Klaus,
I tried to write a script, that turns the Knoppix-CD in an ftp-server
with all *.deb files from the CD, using dpkg-repack. It needs 650 MB
diskspace.
Unfortunaty the package loop-aes does not repack. I tried to get it from
the internet, but could not google it somewhere. So I looked up the
maintainer in the package, it is Klaus Knopper;-)
8<- - - - - - - - - ->8
root@ttyp1[mnt]# dpkg-repack --root=/KNOPPIX loop-aes
dpkg-repack: File not found: /KNOPPIX/package diverts others to:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs/kernel/drivers/block/loop.o.distrib
dpkg-deb: baue Paket »loop-aes« in »./loop-aes_1.6i-1_i386.deb«.
dpkg-repack: Errors were encountered in processing.
dpkg-repack: The package may not unpack correctly.
root@ttyp1[mnt]# ls -l loop-aes_1.6i-1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45672 2003-05-19 15:21
loop-aes_1.6i-1_i386.deb
8<- - - - - - - - - ->8
The error messages does not help me to fix the problem. /KNOPPIX/package
does not exist, loop.o.distrib does. Is there a bug in the deb package
you can fix, or can I download loop-aes_1.6i-1_i386.deb from somewhere
(google was helpless)?
The script is attached, if someone is interested, but it has never been
tested!!!! So use apt-u* --dry-run, that works:-).
Thanks for your help
greetings
