Greetings all; 2 problems. Wheezy or wheezy derived installs on all 3 boxes on my local network, which I am the only user of, and all behind a dd-wrt install on the router, so I am not in the least worried about security related stuff.
Trying to apt-get purge the repos ancient amanda-common and amanda-client packages from one of my boxes so I can install the correct debs from that zmanda site. I have been a week trying to make those ancient versions work with the recommended stable version 3.3.7p1 installs on the other 2 boxes. I am looking at the packages sitting in /var/cache/apt/archives, that were installed by synaptic a week ago. gene@shop:/var/cache/apt/archives$ ls|grep amanda amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb But a sudo apt-get purge amanda-common_* amanda-client_* Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'amanda-common_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb' E: Unable to locate package amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'amanda-client_1%3a3.3.1-4_i386.deb' Please tell me apt-get isn't losing its mind... I am currently "ssh -Y" into that box, and one of the display managers or X is refusing to forward the graphics for an application that must run as root, and the usual fixes are NOT working. So, how do I fix this: gene@shop:/var/cache/apt/archives$ sudo synaptic X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. (synaptic:14317): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: localhost:11.0 graphical applications that do not run as root, work fine. Thanks for any help on this latter problem.
