Hi !
I try to pass a machine from etch to sid, so, I've changed the
sources.list file, all updates were been done.
But now, I've some problems.
[snip locales problems]
Welcome to sid, these are just typical troubles which you can expect
anytime. I'm not sure what the "correct" solution would have been in this
case, but I just installed locales from experimental (which also pulled
libc from experimental), but I don't mind living on the edge ;)
Is it a bug for the 'locales' package ? Because I wonder if install a
package from experimental is a solution. What do you think about ? But I
tried :
# dpkg -i locales_2.7-0exp8_all.deb
(Reading database ... 56391 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace locales 2.7-0exp8 (using locales_2.7-0exp8_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement locales ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of locales:
locales depends on glibc-2.7-1; however:
Package glibc-2.7-1 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing locales (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
locales
Of course, the glibc-2.7.1 is required, it's a virtual package, what to do ?
You shouldn't install packages with dpkg directly. Instead add a source
for experimental in your sources.list and use
aptitude -t experimental install locales
That is, if you want to try my solution. There is always more than one
way ...
