dpkg dependency issue
Trying to install the deb file for particular program that requires apache2 to be installed on the system.
It needs apache 2.2 or higher. I had 2.0, so I uninstalled (well, I did a bit more than that, but it's gone). Then, because on Debian/Ubuntu, there is no deb package for anything higher than 2.0, I had to do a "manual" install. Found the right file - apache2-mpm-worker_2.2.3-3.2_i386 and installed it. All is well. Code:
netstat -an | grep :80 a visit to my machine with a browser shows the default apache stuff. So, I move on to installing my next piece. Code:
dpkg -i filename.deb So, it seems that for some reason dpkg doesn't know about my new apache and when the install runs, it fails because it can't find it. Where do I: 1. bypass the check for the proper version of apache2? 2. change a file to let dpkg know that package is installed? 3. do something that will make this work? Thanks! |
I think I found a solution:
Code:
dpgk -i --ignore-depends=apache2 installfile.deb |
Could it be because it needs more than just the single apache2 package you installed.. when I check the repository for Apache 2..
Code:
aptitude search apache2 ? that's probably why it's saying apache2 is not installed.. a quick package search shows that apache2 v2.2+ is available in Debian testing and unstable. so I take it you are running Sarge ? http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/s...ywords=apache2 You could look into apt-pinning to install the apache2 packages from etch.. or maybe it's just time for you to move off of stable to something a bit newer.. Just a couple suggestions |
