dselect doesn't see util-linux-locales package
OK, since I have the ethernet problem I've dowloaded the packages I've wanted from the debian packages site. I was careful to get all the 'recomended' packages for the packages I wanted. When I ran dselect on the cd, it came up with a dependency, it said that for util-linux, util-linux-locales was recommended but it didn't appear to be available.
That's odd, because remember putting it on the cd. Ok, out of frustration more that anything else, I downloaded all three current versions of util-linux-locales, and burned them to a CD, just them nothing else. Still didn't detect it. My question for anyone who reads this is, why didn't debian 'see' the file, and what can I do to MAKE it see the file. thanks (for your patience) |
Use apt-cdrom to update the listings for the Debian CD-ROMs you have. :)
I doubt this works with a plain CD with some debs on it, I believe the process requires index files and proper distribution directories on the CD though. But you could just mount the CD, navigate to it and do an dpkg -i package.deb Håkan |
