Debian VPS... without APT !!
 
I had a bad surprise on the VPS I just aquired: the firt thing I do when I order a new Debian VPS is apt-get update.. well.. this time I got "command not found" !!!

How can I install from remote apt ...without apt????

Is this normal?? Is the first time I got no apt in a Debian based xen image...

cheers,
Antonello

You can look around /usr/bin to see if it's there but not in your $PATH. Or try using dselect (which should also live in /usr/bin) to install apt.

Try if dpkg is available, that way you can download the proper version of apt, install it with dpkg and away you go!

sylvaticus 07-06-2007 03:31 PM

not apt-get, dselect, nor dpkg in any position :confused:

does I have to change VPS provider ???

farslayer 07-06-2007 04:00 PM

you did 'su' instead of 'su -' are you sure the path was set properly ?

I would certainly contact them. Maybe they don't allow you to add packages to the VPS? Maybe they'll do it for you...

It seems that they setup me a gentoo box instead of a Debian one.. the warriest thing is that it is made automatically from a control panel, so they have a bug in theys XEN management... we are starting well...

This is my control panel (with Debian correctly selected):
