Re: Newbie question
please check my packages on the debian
http://introspector.sourceforge.net/debian/incoming/
All of the ming32 packages have ming in the name,
For example :
http://introspector.sourceforge.net/debian/incoming/libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
I have created them under the Debian gnu/linux system
$ dpkg -i libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
dpkg: error processing libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
(--install):
package architecture (i386) does not match system (cygwin-i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
Ok, so forcing will produce these errors :
$ dpkg --force-all -i libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
package architecture (i386) does not match system (cygwin-i386)
Selecting previously deselected package libiconv-mingw1.
(Reading database ... 0 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libiconv-mingw1 (from
libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
(--install):
error setting ownership of `./usr/share/doc/libiconv-mingw1': Invalid
argument
Errors were encountered while processing:
libiconv-mingw1_1.8.20020902-1_i386.deb
Any ideas?
