| 18:11.37 | maxigas | i have a laptop (g3 clamshell key lime). i installed etch without |
| 18:11.38 | maxigas | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:11.38 | maxigas | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:11.46 | maxigas | any tips? |
| 18:22.18 | pahartik | maxigas: Try to upgrade other packages first... |
| 18:23.53 | maxigas | ok so i have to "hold" tzdata? |
| 18:26.19 | maxigas | i don't understand how to hold a package with apt |
| 18:26.29 | maxigas | (i read /msg dkpg hold |
| 18:26.30 | maxigas | ) |
| 18:28.55 | pahartik | maxigas: You can mark it in "aptitude" by using "h" when package does have focus |
| 18:30.11 | maxigas | isn't there a way using apt? i am totally scared by aptitude and its interface. :o |
| 18:36.29 | pahartik | maxigas: I do not know, I have used "aptitude" for some 7 years... |
| 18:38.30 | pahartik | maxigas: It seems "apt-get" does not offer option to set that flag |

| 18:41.26 | maxigas | ok thanks. :) |
| 18:46.27 | maxigas | i try to learn aptitude now... |
| 18:46.51 | pahartik | maxigas: Do you prefer "dselect" or just "dpkg" and "apt-get"? |
| 18:50.43 | maxigas | i used debian for a year now, but only with apt-get. :) |
| 18:53.34 | pahartik | maxigas: Oh, I suppose you could also try to "dpkg --install" that "tzdata" package from "/var/cache/apt/archives/" and see if it goes through without segmentation fault, instead of setting it for hold |
| 18:54.07 | maxigas | pahartik: i tried but it was the same segfault. :( |
| 18:55.29 | maxigas | i could hold back the packages with aptitude but now i don't know how to do dist-upgrade with aptitude. :) |
| 18:55.47 | maxigas | if i set 'hold' with aptitude does apt-get know about it? |
| 18:56.37 | pahartik | maxigas: All right, probably better to hold it then, until "glibc", package utilities and "linux-image" has been upgraded and then try again... |
| 18:58.12 | pahartik | maxigas: AFAIK, "apt-get" is also aware of "hold" set by "aptitude" |
| 19:00.50 | maxigas | hehe.. the command is "aptitude dist-upgrade" |
| 19:07.13 | maxigas | do you think installing this might help? |
| 19:07.15 | maxigas | http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r3/powerpc/iso-cd/ |
| 19:07.37 | maxigas | note that this is a vanilla install and i just want to get to lenny |
| 19:08.43 | maxigas | pahartik: "aptitude dist-upgrade" is asking me hundreds of questions about how to resolve conflicts, but all solutions involve upgrading libc6 and/or tzdata.. |
| 19:11.51 | maxigas | pahartik: anyway, apt-get dist-upgrade seems to work, instead of 600MB it now wants to get only 200MB, which is a sure sign it recognised my 'hold' options in aptitude. :) |
| 19:13.29 | pahartik | maxigas: I have never had such situation... So you have to improvise :) |
| 19:20.07 | maxigas | pahartik: ok, thank you for your help. i am trying with aptitude and hold and apt-get now and i get to dependency-hell again i reboot to the installer of etch that i got from cd-image website. :) |

| 20:21.05 | maxigas | ok, how do i search for packages which are set to hold in aptitude? |
| 20:35.59 | pahartik | maxigas: That is good question... |
| 20:40.27 | maxigas | from debian channel: |
| 20:40.29 | maxigas | <shingouz> maxigas: the easiest way is to apt-get upgrade --simulate and |

| 20:40.32 | maxigas | <PROTECTED> |
| 20:41.09 | maxigas | but i think that's not the same as hold in aptitude |

| 22:20.50 | simonrvn | yes it is |
| 22:23.27 | docelic | simonrvn, hey btw, about the ext2resize... the solution was to use resize2fs instead, which does work on big endian and can also do online resizing while fs is mounted.. |
| 22:23.45 | simonrvn | nice |
| 22:24.13 | simonrvn | i wonder why it didn't occur to me at the time... must've been tired or something |
