LMDE BREAKAGES - (Tracking SID!) -{CLOSED}

[zerozero]

slowly getting around the steam installation (yeahh, i know it's very slowly )
solved the libnspr4:i386 issue: was installed from mozilla.debian and a higher v. than available in testing

Code: Select all

Start-Date: 2013-02-09  02:00:17
Commandline: synaptic
Downgrade: libnspr4:amd64 (4.9.3~beta1-1, 4.9.2-1)
Remove: libnspr4-0d:amd64 (4.9.3~beta1-1)
End-Date: 2013-02-09  02:00:30

in the next days to tackle the rest

slowly getting around the steam installation (yeahh, i know it's very slowly )

Try the latest... they've really cleaned up the dependencies.

Code: Select all

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.25
Architecture: i386
Maintainer: Valve Corporation <linux@steampowered.com>
Installed-Size: 6492
Depends: libc6, libgl1-mesa-dri, libgl1-mesa-glx, xterm | gnome-terminal, zenity

[mockturtl]

In fact, the latest Steam (v25) installs in UP6:

Code: Select all

$ install xterm:i386  # gnome-terminal:i386 conflicts with gnome-terminal:amd64
...
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Install the following packages:                 
1)     libutempter0:i386 [1.1.5-4 (testing, unstable)]
2)     libxaw7:i386 [2:1.0.10-2 (testing, unstable)] 
3)     libxft2:i386 [2.3.1-1 (testing, unstable)]     
4)     libxmu6:i386 [2:1.1.1-1 (testing, unstable)]   
5)     libxpm4:i386 [1:3.5.10-1 (testing, unstable)] 
6)     xbitmaps [1.1.1-2 (unstable)]                 

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] y
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libutempter0:i386{a} libxaw7:i386{a} libxft2:i386{a} libxmu6:i386{a} libxpm4:i386{a} xbitmaps{a} xterm:i386
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  steam:i386
0 packages upgraded, 7 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1,039 kB of archives. After unpacking 2,652 kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] y

Let's see whether it runs...

[cwwgateway]

Is the libc6 dependency still at version 2.15? AFAIK all debian branches except experimental are on 2.13.

I notice I can't build the latest cinnamon on my sid/Steam box... checking whether that libc6 from experimental is the culprit.

Code: Select all

make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/cinnamon] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

[mockturtl]

I can build cinnamon in a clean sid, so I think something from experimental must be the problem. (Note: it needs cinnamon-control-center from github.)

ZZ, I think there will be some pain after the thaw, when cinnamon migrates to jessie and everyone's pinning is different... for now `dpkg --force-overwrite` will override sid's cinnamon with a local or linuxmint.com version.

the only thing i noticed is that at startup steam has a "call" for jockey-gtk but once we dismiss xterm it starts fine.

in which way pulling these packages from experimental will impact stability we'll see

[cwwgateway]

I also just got steam installed on my Sid install. Has anybody tried to install any games yet? AFAIK installing certain games installs extra dependencies, and I'd be curious to see if the versions and names are correct for Debian.

The Book of Unwritten Tales has a free demo. Decent puzzle / adventure in the style of Lucasfilm.

Team Fortress 2 needed pulseaudio (search google, I think I saw an alsa workaround in the Steam forum). I had the "black screen" nvidia problem, but it's been fixed since v25.

There's a big sale for the next few days: http://store.steampowered.com/sale/linux_release/. Lots of games for $3.

I was installing a bit willy-nilly trying to get steam working...but the above seems a bit much. Can anyone tell me if the updates are new or if I've done something to cause them?

[zerozero]

nahh there's no such an influx atm in sid or in testing
post the actual sources.list you're working with at the moment

Oh Maaan,
I don't wanna admit this... I un-commented Experimental trying to get steam running and forgot to re-comment.

Thanks for the quick reply! o/

to be honest i have no idea what you are talking about

[mockturtl]

Oh Maaan,
I don't wanna admit this... I un-commented Experimental trying to get steam running and forgot to re-comment.

If you're using the LMDE default /etc/apt/preferences, qualify the "origin = Debian" line by specifying an archive:

Code: Select all

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500


Then experimental will have priority 1 (other repos, say testing, default to 500), and you can upgrade without commenting it in sources.list.

(Values < 100 need to be requested explicitly: `install -t archive package` (get deps from archive), or `install package/archive` (get deps from your usual repo).

[cwwgateway]

The safest route is probably to remove the default Mint preferences file, since it can cause problems in the future as the current UP drifts farther away from testing/sid.

I just got netflix working following a guide on the #! forums (http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=23958), so I don't need any Ubuntu-based Mint installs anymore .

[cwwgateway]

The Linux kernel version 3.8 was released yesterday, and this is the one that drops support for i386. I know liquorix hasn't updated yet (can't verify the others). I'm curious to see if this is dealt with smoothly. I'm also waiting for iceweasel 19.

[fiver22]

seeing how everyone so kindly ignored my silly screwup
I thought I'd post my sources and preferences for any suggestions:

The sources.list seems fine. If you remove everything in your preferences file (including the entry for o=Debian), then you can uncomment experimental and have it be fine because it is set to not automatic as default. The o=Debian set to 500 gives all Debian repos, whether it be stable, testing, unstable, experimental, etc, a priority of 500, meaning packages from that repo will be installed if they are of a higher version. The other parts of your sources.list aren't necessary either. Here's how mine look for my sid install:

[mockturtl]

seeing how everyone so kindly ignored my silly screwup
I thought I'd post my sources and preferences for any suggestions:

Optionally, break out nonstandard repos (vbox, siduction-xfcenext) to separate .list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (chown root:root, chmod 644).

If linuxmint.com and debian.org both have the default pin-priority (500), you could see some conflicts with Mint-related projects that have official Debian packages (cinnamon, muffin... nemo? mdm?). For these, LM is upstream of Debian, so a higher priority makes sense -- the linuxmint.com repo will update sooner, and more often.
