| Post subject: | Newbie question - related to apt-get issue? e2fsprogs? |
Hi all... I've been playing with knoppmyth for a few weeks now - the current release on the site as of March 1 06. Twice I have had it working A-OK and blew it up trying to install some games. I would much like to use apt to pull the packages and install them, but EVERY time I try to I get the following situation: root@PVR-MythTV:/usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples # apt-get install liquidwar Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: e2fslibs e2fsprogs liballegro4.1 libasound2 libblkid1 libc6 libc6-dev libss2 libuuid1 libx11-6 libxext6 libxxf86dga1 libxxf86vm1 liquidwar-data liquidwar-server lsb-base x11-common xfree86-common Suggested packages: e2fsck-static liballegro4.1-plugin-esd liballegro4.1-plugin-arts glibc-doc x-window-system x-window-system-core twm x-window-manager The following packages will be REMOVED: libasound2-dev locales The following NEW packages will be installed: e2fslibs liballegro4.1 libss2 libuuid1 libx11-6 libxext6 libxxf86dga1 libxxf86vm1 liquidwar-server lsb-base x11-common The following packages will be upgraded: e2fsprogs libasound2 libblkid1 libc6 libc6-dev liquidwar liquidwar-data xfree86-common 8 upgraded, 11 newly installed, 2 to remove and 535 not upgraded. Need to get 0B/14.9MB of archives. After unpacking 2367kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y E: This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package e2fsprogs due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop. This is often bad, but if you really want to do it, activate the APT::Force-LoopBreak option. E: Internal Error, Could not early remove e2fsprogs I tried using the force loopbreak option and, as can be expected, this horribly broke it - in fact, I had to do a low level format of the HD before the machine could even boot to the knoppmyth installer. Am I doing something wrong by trying to use apt to pull the games? I suppose I can install from source or something along those lines, but there are a bunch of games I'd like to get an this would be a very long process. Can someone offer any suggestions? I don't even know why this package is here and causing me problems in the first place! Thanks for any suggestions. |

You're a victim of drift, the debian stuff has moved a long way from the versions being used on the CD. Doing an apt-get is very hazardous at the moment as a result. The best move for now is to avoid it. |

So is my only option to install from source? Should i look for .deb packages instead? What is the recommended method right now? |
