I need your advice as I don't know if I hit a bug, or I am misunderstanding something.
On a Debian Lenny, I am trying to prevent the installation of two particular packages, when they are requested as dependencies fromother packages.
Quick question - I'm on Debian squeeze, running nginx fine and installed mono fine. Now I want to host a .net4 web application and as I understand it I'll need fastcgi-mono-server4 (and xsp4 when testing it out) - where do I get these packages?
I tried apt-get install fastcgi-mono-server4 and same for mono-xsp4-base.
The setup
I run a Debian Squeeze host that I use to build a multilanguage project (python, java, php...) and generate custom packages (debian and RPM) automatically (through jenkins)
The problem
The target distributions of those Debian packages are Etch, Lenny and Squeeze.
I have both Debian Squeeze and Ubuntu 10.04 machines; the font rendering in 10.04/10.10 is beautiful out of the box but Squeeze is still ugly even after hours and hours of messing with configuration. (IMO - I realize this is subjective.)
Obviously Ubuntu is doing something right. Can I simply install a few packages from Ubuntu on my Debian box and have it work?
I want to use doxygen on my Debian Squeeze server, but I need the version from Debian Wheezy because this apparently contains the bugfix I need.
It's not in backports -- check packages.debian.org/search?suite=squeeze-backports&searchon=names&keywords=doxygen (I'm new here and wasn't allowed this as a proper link!)
I tried adding Wheezy to my sources.list file and running apt-get install
Now I found how to build and install mono 2.6.x to TC.First install packages - base-dev, make, pkg-config, gcc, bison, binutils, gettext, glib2-dev, glib2thenwget http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/sources/mono/mono-2.6.1.tar.bz2tar xjvf mono-2.6.1.tar...
I'm trying to install Python 2.6 on Debian Lenny. My device is a D-Link DNS-323 currently running chroot'd Debian Lenny arm. I have tried setting up apt pinning however this does not work because in Debian Squeeze the architecture is armel, not arm. I have tried compiling Python, however the make-install keeps failing.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
We are seeing dozens and dozens of posts on the internet about Ubuntu. I am not telling that I dislike Ubuntu, but I think that a lot of people are not aware that Ubuntu is Debian based. News about Debian is scarce. We are waiting for a new stable release and Squeeze is hopefully becoming stable this year.
I'm trying to update from debian lenny to squeeze on my 64bit root server and did the following so far:
modifying sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install linux-image-2.6-amd64
The last step leads to the following error-output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed.
