:Trigger

In the terminal I’m told in Swedish that I ain’t got the key. I also get this message:

“E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?”

I’m running the “Run aptitude update && aptitude install initng initng-ifiles” command as you wrote in your other post.

Please make sure to run this command as root.

mit Kubuntu Dapper bekomme ich folgendes Fehler:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
initng: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

wie kann ich dass loesen?

The packages are built agains Sid and because of this the dependencies don’t really match. I’ll build Dapper Packages later - I hope soon
You can try to rebuild the package on your dapper box to solve the problem.

ok, thank you. i thought that might have been the reason.

i had trouble building on my box, i’ve forgotten what the errors were. but i’m patient; i can wait for the packages. ; )

Daaaaaaapper pleeeeeease

Yes!!!! for dapper ??? pls Trigger fix this bug The following packages have unmet dependencies:
initng: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I’m waiting for the dapper build too

I have made instructions how to work around the dependency issue on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InitNG (section “Version 0.6.7″). Generally it’s just a matter of building initng from source package. However there are some issues, which can be also easily bypassed with linking by hand, and it still would be nice to have “ubuntized” packages, which don’t need any kind of manual work.

supposedly there isnt a key for the repo i get this when i update:

W: GPG error: http://debian.space-based.de experimental Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY EB020D4677AFC5B7

Could you please supply your key for this?

Updated the first post.

I have this error after I add the key and sudo apt-get update:

Failed to fetch http://debian.space-based.de/debs/dists/experimental/Release Unable to find expected entry main/sources/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

I have the same problem : “malformed Release file?”. Is there something we don’t do right or a real issue in the repo?

Weird. I don’t have problems here. You are running Sid?

could it be that ‘gpg –armor –export 77AFC5B7 | apt-key add -’ is missing something at the end?

Nope…Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

and I have the same problem too:
Failed to fetch http://debian.space-based.de/debs/dists/experimental/Release Unable to find expected entry main/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

And the system is 6.06 LTS too…

?!

just switched my box top k7, so there i’ll have to wait for a k7-version anyways

still big thx for the effort trigger!

Yes, Ubuntu dapper with K7 kernel 2.6.15-23-k7

$ gpg –armor –export 77AFC5B7 | apt-key add -
gpg: no writable keyring found: eof
gpg: error reading `-’: general error
gpg: import from `-’ failed: general error
$

Am i doing something wrong here cause i cant seem to get the key working

Just run that command as root.

Almost any command regarding APT should be run as root. Exceptions are `apt-file`, `apt-cache`, `apt-show` and some other that I don’t actually remember.

scubanator87, try running that command as root.

i have the same problem as scubanator87 the key doesn’t work

the correct command is gpg –armor –export 77AFC5B7 | sudo apt-key add -

but i’ve the same problem on top…

Unable to find expected entry main/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

there’s another link for repository?

I’m trying on ubuntu dapper i tried with root same problem

I’m also getting the same issue as Fabrizio,

Failed to fetch http://debian.space-based.de/debs/dists/experimental/Release Unable to find expected entry main/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Is there something I’m missing?

Just watch Fabrizio’s command above. Don’t just copy and paste it into a terminal as this blog transformed his two minuses before the “armor” and “export” arguments into dashes. Replace them with two minuses.

Is there any idea when the repository will be fixed?

They key doesn’t appear to be on the server. Could you please check on the key server, because when I searched the server (wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net) it said there is no such key.

Thanks

tested and build on Ubuntu Dapper 6.06.

You can download at:

http://erkan.linux-sevenler.org/download/Ubuntu

Adding a Dapper version should be really easy…. Simply change the value Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) to Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6), and it will work both in Debian and in Dapper…
Anyway you could do it manually with

dpkg-deb --extract "initng_0.6.7-1_i386.deb" "initng/" && dpkg-deb --control "initng_0.6.7-1_i386.deb" "initng/DEBIAN" && cat initng/DEBIAN/control | sed "s/libc6 (>= 2\.3\.6-6)/libc6 (>= 2\.3\.6)/g" > initng/DEBIAN/control.new && mv initng/DEBIAN/control.new initng/DEBIAN/control && dpkg-deb --build initng/ ./initng_0.6.7-1_i386.deb && rm -r initng/

Bye!

Hi!

Thanks for the packages. But I get a “malformed release file” error, when using the deb-src repository. Like Xodlike desrcibe the error, two posts above.

Can you fix this? Thanks
regards,
chris

gpg –keyserver hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net –recv-keys 77AFC5B7
gpg: requesting key 77AFC5B7 from hkp server wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net
gpg: keyserver timed out
gpg: keyserver receive failed: keyserver error

i get folowing error

swistak: try changing the keyserver. I usually use pgp.mit.edu.

Debian AMD64 Etch:

Impossibile ottenere http://debian.space-based.de/debs/dists/experimental/Release Unable to find expected entry main/source/Sources in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)

Jeremy posted the solution a few lines above - thanks

use in (K)ubuntu
gpg –armor –export 77AFC5B7 | sudo apt-key add -
