As you can see, the "doc" package installed OK, but the "server" package
needs a later version of some basic C libraries.
I'd rather not upgrade the Etch machine to Lenny right now. And I
really don't want to get into running an Etch Machine with Lenny libraries.
So I suspect that what I really need to do is download the "dibbler"
source package and recompile it on Etch.
Can anybody tell me how to do that? RTFM is easy if you know what parts
to read, so if you can point me to the right parts of the FM, that will
be great!
If you already have the appropriate "deb-src" lines in your
/etc/apt/sources.list, you can do this:
mkdir ~/dibbler
cd ~/dibbler
apt-get install build-essential
apt-get source dibbler
fakeroot ./dibbler-*/debian/rules binary
That should create a dibbler binary in your home directory. If you need
to place the deb-src lines in sources.list first, read "man
sources.list" and "man apt-get"
Note, I have no experience with dibber; these are more or less generic
instructions for compiling with Debian:
