howto update Azureus in Debian

Lleb_KCir · 10-14-2005, 08:03 PM

Everytime the Azureus tries to run its update for what ever reason it can not due to permissions. How do i get around that issue?

Thanks.

chmod -R a+rw /azureusdirectory .
Azureus directory might be /usr/share/azureus
try

Code:

dpkg -L azureus

to locate it.

Code:

p4ssmahome:~# dpkg -L Azureus
Package `azureus' is not installed.

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
p4ssmahome:~# dpkg -L azureus
Package `azureus' is not installed.

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

...

found it here i think:

Code:

ls /home/ray/.Azureus/
active              downloads.config  shares          trackers.config
azureus.config      filters.config    tmp             update.log
azureus.statistics  logs              torrents        update.properties
dht                 plugins           tracker.config  updates
ray@p4ssmahome:~$ su -
Password: 
p4ssmahome:~# chmod -R a+rw /home/ray/.Azureus/

How and where did you install azureus??
If you install it with apt-get the command is case-sensitive i believe :

Code:

dpkg -L azureus

Your .Azureus preferences' directory has nothing to do with your installation directory.
If you have installed azureus without apt-get you have to find its location.

IIRC i did not use apt-get as i could not find the respository for it so i grabed the .deb off of their site.

if you used a deb and actually installed it, the command dpkg -L azureus should return something. If the package name has changed you can always look for it in synaptic or use
dpkg -l|less to locate it.

found it in /home/user/azureus

ran the chmod and when i get home will try to update it and see if i still get the same error. Thanks for the help and guidance.
