Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch)

miroR · 2017-07-05 08:26:15

Also posted in:
devuan packages explorer
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … cd.en.html

shows my "held broken packages" (Apt said). Also, in the other just finished topic in this Installation section of dev1galaxy.org forums (xserver-xorg fails w/ ATI(AMD) topic, last written this morning or last night), I wrote a little... but I'm not so used at browsing and posting with Lynx... Ah, I remember, it's there I first explained that my Palemoon was broken...

And I remember I posted my /etc/apt/apt.conf there as well... Leaving it below, till I find that link (sooner, or... some day).

I don't hide having tried, because of my Air-Gapped method, to use verifiable sources in Air-Gap, upon not having been able to find a way to get them from Devuan repos (I have in the meantime found the way to manually update my Air-Gapped sufficiently verifiably secure from third parties, there's a whole topic "Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative" on dev1galaxy.org forums), but...

But not having figured at first how that was the way to do it, I updated my Jessie RC2 with Debian stretch, and surely that is in the root of my issues, that is the cause of my issues...

Anyway, I can't do much more than, while I study how to fix my issues, re-post the errors from Devuan ML, here.

It's some two months partly gone to nothing if I dont' fix this somehow...

And to get the shorter output (which I had sent to the Devuan ML, but to the
previous email that that one linked above) I simply remove the below, which if
it is in place:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                            libc-dev
                   Depends: g++ (>= 4:6.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

As I said, if I don't fix this somehow, it's some two months of my hard work partly gone to nothing (well, I have learned a lot, but...)...

Initial text, back when I couldn't post with Lynx:

Network error, but the post that I prepared was ready for posting before the time of this post, and once I (hopefully) compile Palemoon, I'll post it with it.
I have to say, though, that Lynx does wonders, it's very advanced, lots of new features, probably the most maintained of the text browsers...

Follows real text, prepared at that time, not at the time of this edit with Palemoon (which I am, temporarily, back with):
---
In the linked (in the first post above) thread on Dng Devuan ML I got the advice that will very likely work. Both pieces of advice would work, but since my issue stem from my mixing of Devuan Jessie with Debian Stretch (which was then the Testing branch) and then incomplete reverting to Devuan by means of updating (all my updating is in various topic that I wrote on Dev1galaxy.org forums) [by means of updating] to Devuan Ascii, I am pretty confident that I will comfortably be able to update by means of the most complete updating and upgrading with the advice that applied to all Devuaners who happened to update when Debian Stretch went stable and the Testing branch became Debian Buster, which meant that Devuaners who updated in that short period of time when any "apt-get update" introduced some disorder, could use that method to reintroduce order into their system.

This was the advice that applied then to everybody, and by comparison, to very likely applies to my case:
AMPROLLA GLITCH: ISSUE SOLVED -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ad.en.html

But I like (didn't do it a couple of times, and sorely regretted it afterwards), to see what would a command/a method do, before I apply it.

So I stuck this below:
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin

Package: *
Pin: release n=ascii
Pin-Priority: 1001

#

And, first, I did study and understand some of man apt_preferences, but not found time to search (I don't know in which man page it is) for what:

Investigating (0) build-essential:amd64 < none -> 12.3 @un puN Ib >

and other lines with such cryptic characters, like:

Broken build-essential:amd64 Depends on libc-dev:amd64 < none @un H >

but, obviously, in the first line the 12.3 is the version of build-essential, and none on the left of "->" means it's currently not installed, and altogether "none -> 12.3" means the ProblemResolver (I got all that debug-like output because I stuck "Debug::pkgProblemResolver "on";" in my apt.conf), is pondering about installing that version... "b" could stand for binary (pls. note that I'm only guessing)... And can't even try to guess the rest.

The "@un", in both lines, maybe stand for from unknown (pls. note that I'm only guessing).

Anyway, these three lines are important:

    Reinst Failed because of libc6-dev:amd64
    Reinst Failed because of libstdc++-6-dev:amd64
    Reinst Failed because of g++-6:amd64

But all that was previously. Now I got "ascii-pin"-ing in proper place. And all should go well.

E.g, I get nice output, and fine downgrading (because of the pinning, reader, peruse the man apt_preferences if you wonder why), that will remove blockages (I hope), with these three:

But the main thing is only now coming. I'll update now the system, and that will probably rid me of the remaining issues similar to this one that scared me for more than half a day...

And the third post (prepared ahead) could not be posted with my Lynx

For three days this post was only posted in part.
Now is complete, as written three days ago, at the time of opening this post. Namely I can (maybe temporarily) use Palemoon again.

Did I say I was betting on succeeding. I should have...

Well almost all did go fine. Just one error, but which might be critical.

Shortened log. I have it all for eventual later debugging, if it should be needed.

First I ran:
# apt-get update

Then, just as the advice (see the second, I think, post above, the link to "AMPROLLA GLITCH..." --at the time of posting not there, some glitch with Lynx, but it is extant--) goes:
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Calculating upgrade...Starting pkgProblemResolver with broken count: 0
Starting 2 pkgProblemResolver with broken count: 0
Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  clearlooks-phenix-purpy-theme dmz-cursor-theme fakeroot
  libalgorithm-diff-perl libalgorithm-diff-xs-perl libalgorithm-merge-perl
  libfakeroot libfile-fcntllock-perl manpages-dev mate-icon-theme
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

Potentially, this makes for a system that won't boot, no?

So, more hard thinking, and studying... Any advice welcome.

BTW, I've taken snapshots of /var/cache/ and /var/lib/apt/, but I'm not updating my Air-Gapped with those! Not till I figure out the severity of this issue here!

But the /etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin I have removed.

Any advice welcome!

The issues in this thread seem to be all solved, but I'll let the verification phase last some more...

Pls. study the thread on Devuan DNG ML, for details:

Linkname: [DNG] Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch) WAS: devuan packages explorer
URL: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … b1.en.html

miroR · 2017-07-07 21:02:04

Including:

Linkname: [DNG] error processing package initscripts, because /lib/init/vars.sh missing
URL: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … d8.en.html

(the eventual solution and faultless --but for an unavoidable snag-- update there!)
YMMV

miroR · 2017-07-07 21:03:14

I meant upgrade, dist-upgrade ...

greenjeans · 2017-07-08 20:43:57

I think you just like saying "Air-Gapped".

miroR · 2017-07-08 21:13:41

If anybody feels like checking up if the logs are genuine (the missing ones in second, third and fifth posts I have now posted), because I was without a GUI-browser I can trust (Palemoon), and I've not mastered Lynx sufficiently well, or there are issues btwn Lynx and FluxBB or some such, they're welcome.

But baseless claims of invalidity or that they be any other lighthearted or other kind of denying my Air-Gapped/cloning methods, thanks a lot, not interested in discussing.

I like better enjoying Devuan, and enjoying being safe and secure using Devuan, which my methods are valid for.
