RE: [SLE] Mozilla upgrade from version 0.9.4-4 to 1.0 w/apt4rpm.
Hi JR! Here are the results of "apt-get -S upgrade":
thor:/home/brian # apt-get -S upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: java2: Depends: libodbc.so but it is not installable Depends: libodbcinst.so but it is not installable E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
- Initially apt can be a pain, especially if it's out of synch with the rest - of the distribution. But once you get caught up you won't be able to live - without it.
That is what I am hoping, but I prefer to take it one step at a time and learn the "feel" of apt before I go "whole hog".
- In apt we trust.
Not yet, but hopefully I'll get there ;-)
Apt can be very cranky at times and will refuse to do things until it's dependencies are met. If you do an "apt-get -f install" it will probably remove java2 to fix the problem, just like you were afraid it might. But, you can always "apt-get install java2" once the problem has been resolved. On the other hand, I'd suggest removing *all* the ODBC libraries manually with rpm (rpm --erase --nodeps <package>) because they're much smaller downloads than java2. Then, "apt-get -f install" will provide java2 with whatever ODBC packages it wants and any other missing dependencies (in theory, of course ;-). Hopefully, that will fix your problem with a relatively small download, then you can do your "apt-get -S upgrade" and watch the scrollbar kick into overdrive. In apt we trust, -jrh
Hello John and Brian, this thing seems a bug in the java2 or libodbc rpms. I investigated this thing about 2 months ago: - the problem is that the libodbc rpms provide libodbc.so.1 and libodbcinst.so.1 - java2 requires the *.so.2 files Apt is correct in its statement that something is missing, which is due to a bug (let's call it a bug) in either the libodbc, or java2 rpm creation (including build environment, etc). I tried to make an rpm to provide the missing *.so.2 files, I did not succeed. What I believe is that the problem does not exist with the libodbc and java2 rpms provided with suse-8.0.... => check if you can (and want) to install these. How, grab them manually from the 8.0 rpm repository or...., point your sources.list file to ..../SuSE/8.0-i386/.. and execute: "apt-get -S install java1 libODBC". If this looks okay, execute the command without "-S". Now, change back your sources.list file to ../SuSE/7.3-i386/.. Op maandag 8 juli 2002 20:15, schreef John Ross Hunt:

HI Brian, it looks weird indeed ;) Did you do an "apt-get update" before the "apt-get -S install...." command? This is to sync your system with the server database. I assume that the result will be better Op dinsdag 9 juli 2002 09:24, schreef Brian Durant:
