I just upgraded to Debian Linux from Mandrake Linux. I have been running [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a subdirectory of my home directory while using Mandrake, but while going through the list of available packages with dselect I saw that there was a setiathome package, so I figured why not have [EMAIL PROTECTED] be managed by the packaging system. As per the directions in the package description I copied the tarball into /tmp and then downloaded the package with apt-get. When the package was installing it raised an error:
(Reading database ... 54555 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking setiathome (from .../setiathome_2.4-3_i386.deb) ... Setting up setiathome (2.4-3) ... Error: setiathome-2.4.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar not found in /tmp. Shall I retrieve setiathome-2.4.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar for you from the web site [Y/n] ? I answered 'no'. The tarball I have been using is setiathome-2.4.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar , and that is the tarball I put into /tmp. My question is, is there any way to get the setiathome package to recognize the i686 version of the tarball? Perhaps an equally important question is: Is the i686 version actually any faster than the i386 version (if not I can just get the i386 version and use it instead.) -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBS ICQ# 76308382 West Dover Hundred, Delaware
