Hello All,
I'm having some trouble installing a busybox debian package which I
built on my Debian system. I previously built and installed a glibc
binary debian package successfully. The busybox package installation is
failing complaining that the libc6-i386 package which it depends on is
not installed. It gives the following error:
dpkg: package busybox depends on libc6-i386, which is not installed or
flagged to be installed
However, I know that libc6-i386 is installed. If I examine the contents
of the dpkg 'status' file as follows I get the following:
cat /var/lib/dpkg/status
Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.6
Section: libs
Priority: required
Architecture: i386
Maintainer: Dallas Clement <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description: The GNU C library
The GNU C library is the standard C/C++ library \
needed to support most Linux applications.
Status: install ok installed
----------------------
The following is the info for the glibc package which I built:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/packages/glibc$ dpkg --info libc6-i386.deb
new debian package, version 2.0.

The following is the info for the busybox package which I built:

Description: Busybox UNIX command utilities.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into \
a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the \
utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc.
----------------------
I could very likely be doing something wrong, but just not sure what it
is. I don't see a reason for the dependency to fail.
I'd sure appreciate any help.
Regards,
Dallas Clement
