OK, so you have both libraries meaning then at least it appears you
should be able to run an application based on lesstif2, right?
Also, 620414 / 1024 is ~ 605.87, which could be rounded to 606KB. I
download one via HTTP. I see a size of 623092, which is 608.48, rounds
down to 608KB.
I'm not sure what apt-get does to verify, but it probably does /some/
kind of verification. You can check the MD5 sum easily though:
$ md5sum file.deb
I've never used "wc -c" to list a file size; I'm not sure if it has
other semantics. It's coming up close what you're expecting, so maybe
it does something like skip certain bytes in the file? 'ls -l' will
display the file size for sure.

Hi Patrick,
I have both library files.
I don't know how to check the MD5 sum. I assume apt-get would do
that before install.
The .deb file I downloaded by ftp has a size of 620414 (using wc -c).
The file at your link
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/sparc/lesstif2 has a size of
608.5 kB.
The package at the Debian ftp site which is where apt-get got what
it installed is listed as 606kB.
So, I don't really know what size it actually is!
Best regards,
Fred

It looks like it has *.so files in the package. I just
downloaded it and the size of the *.deb matches the site.
Maybe you can do some checking?
1) Do you not have /usr/lib/libXm.so.2 or libMrm.so.2?
2) Does your *.deb package match the expected file size?
3) If you download the package directly from the site, does
the MD5 sum match the package you have locally?
If all else fails, you can open a bug for it or email the
maintainer to see if there are any sparc-specific changes that
might have results in a bad package.

Hello,
I am working with Debian Squeeze on a Sun Ultra 5 and am
having
trouble installing lesstif2-0.95.2-1.1. The package
appears to
install ok but no files are actually written. I have an
x86 PC
also with Debian 6.0 and lesstif2 installed so I can see what
files are involved and where they should be. None of them
exists
on the Sun. I had the same problem installing the previous
version of lesstif2 (without the -1) from a DVD set. What
to do?
Best regards,
Fred
