ron, My sources.list won't list exiv2. What repo does your come
from? apt-get.org also doesn't list anything. thanks!
Maybe you're running Sarge or Etch?
$ apt-cache policy exiv2
exiv2:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.10-1
Version table:
0.10-1 0
500 ftp://debian.uchicago.edu unstable/main Packages
Yes, running sarge. But that's ok, I compiled it from the dev's website.
The guy provides a .deb but it must be for etch or sid also, in sarge it
results in broken deps.
exiv2 seems to be quite good, ron, thanks!
You could also:
1. Download the source packages and build them on Sarge. This link
points to all the necessary source packages:
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/exiv2
2. Upgrade to Etch or Sid. If you have a desktop, that's not too
scary.
1. When the debian page says 'depends on such and such other packages',
aren't they going to mess my sarge install? I mean, if this is a sid
page referring to sid packages, I am not supposed to try to install
these on my sarge, am I (because I already have the sarge versions of
everything)?
2. Yes, I thought of doing this a zillion times. Question is, I have
seen troubled ppl looking for help over a broken/messed system for one
reason or another. Fairly put, it doesn't happen all the time (and
mainly with brazilian users at debian-users-portuguese, that apparently
can't read english docs easily -- debian portuguese documentation is
good, but reading english would help a lot). I find myself always
postponing this move. My current sarge install is 2 years old, and I
have installed a lot of things without decently documenting what I did.
If something breaks its gonna be a pain to track it. I know there's dpkg
--set-selections/dpkg --get-selections if needed. I'd rather have a
testing machine...
How much is etch ahead of sarge? which one you run?
