Hi All, I compiled sysutils myself because procinfo complains that it needs to be compiled to display all IRQs. I unpacked the debian source file and used debian/rules binary to make a binary. When I installed the .deb using dpkg (which happens without complaint and the programs work), apt-get starts complaining about broken dependencies. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Robert. solzhenitsyn:~king/Linux/deb# apt-get check Updating package file cache...done Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...dependency error You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these. Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet dependencies: sysutils: Depends:libc6 Depends:libncurses4 solzhenitsyn:~king/Linux/deb# dpkg -l sysutils perl libncurses4 libc6 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============-==============-============================================ ii sysutils 1.3.4 Miscellaneous small system utilities. ii perl 5.004.04-6 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report ii libncurses4 4.2-3 Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libc6 2.0.7.19981211 GNU Libc: shared libraries ---- Robert King, Australian Environmental Studies, Griffith University, Australia 3875 6677 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ens.gu.edu.au/robertk/ "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so.
