Re: Hurd 2013 05 installation problem

Thanks for the swift reply. I asked to install the default which was SSH
server and (I can't remember the name exactly, but it was the bottom item
in the list) system tools or core tools.
I started again from scratch then mounted the virtual disk on another VM to
inspect it. I've extracted the file /var/log/installer/syslog which is 18K
when bzip2'd - please may I send it directly to you, Samuel, rather than to
the list? I can also send the whole contents of /var/log/installer but
that's rather bigger.

I had similar issue. Here's log from IRC:

10:04:56< anatoly> Hm, failed on tasksel step with netinst image
10:13:48< anatoly> It says "iproute : Depends: iproute2 but it is not 
installable"
10:16:53< anatoly> Try later? :-)
10:21:02< pinotree> wops
10:21:27< pinotree> apparently iproute2 has been uploaded, and that

I recently installed in kvm using the netinst.iso and had no problems. I
used the pseudo-graphical install option. Doing a test-install again:
there are problems. Updating of some packages from a mirror is the
cause. Trying to find out which package ...

Was that from today? I should have tried IRC first, sorry.

Looks like my best option is 'try later' - I can certainly help test when
/if a fix is available. I can carry on playing with the Hurd without
iproute anyway.

Thanks all,
Pete

Haven't found out yet. However, choosing no mirror makes the install
finish. And then you can upgrade and install additional packages with
apt-get. Haven't used tasksel manually myself.

Ah, yes, using a mirror means using the current sid packages, which may
be uninstallable from times to times.

Re: changing the java default to java7, and dropping java support for some architectures

2013-05-23 Thread peter green


:-)  I'm one who asked there some time back why java7 is no longer in
the archives (unstable/experimental), while the last binaries I had
installed still work OK on my mini-pc...

I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists...  I want to
understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance desktop
alternative with java enabled, or is no longer suited for that, :-)
So your answers are very appreciated.
  
The problem is that if you want openjdk on your architecture then 
someone has to commit to doing the work to keep it building and working 
in the face of changes from upstream.  For x86/x64 and presumablly to 
some extent sparc (though I don't know if they test linux/sparc or only 
solaris/sparc) upstream keeps it working. For arm ubuntu and probablly 
other commerical linux distros need to keep it working. Powerpc seems to 
be be getting at least some support from  IBM.

OK, I see. I selected mirror.
Thank you for the help. Will try to install it without using mirror

I've been trying to install using the XFCE CD on a zx6000.  The boot
