[SOLVED] Installing Tor

Anpanman · 2021-12-31 05:13:54

I have a home server which used to be my work PC which I want to re-purpose as a darknet-only web server.
I chose to go against the mainstream by setting up a couple of servers (will set up a few more after successfully launching one) without systemd, so the closest to Debian I got was Devuan (and maybe Antix).
I successfully managed to install Tor after installing Devuan, but from then on it became impossible to upgrade because Tor requires libc6 2.33 or higher, while Devuan packages libc6 2.32-4.

I tried multiple tricks already like disabling repo's from the Tor Project (assuming Devuan's Tor package must be compatible), changing the Debian version of the Tor repo, and so on, but the problem still exists.
Installing libc6 from a DEB file neither worked, the output said that it would break the package "locales".
Even uninstalling Tor and then re-installing didn't work, and now my server has no Tor package anymore...JOOOOOY...

So how do I install Tor on Devuan without compatibility issues?

There is a tor package available from the Devuan repositories so why don't you just use that?

That's the point; even if I don't use Tor's repo's, it still fails to install for the same reason, which is what I already explained as well.

i have no issues installing Tor on Devuan 4 stable? Maybe you have borked something by trying to installl libc6 from a .DEB file, please give more info on that libc6 .DEB file ?

The safest way to use the version of Tor that you want that needs an updated version of libc6 is to use a bleeding edge distro or using Devuan unstable.

Please post the full output of

apt policy
apt install -s tor

That DEB file was downloaded from Debian's own repo website, though it never got installed for the reason I already mentioned in the first post.
Beside that, why would anyone need to consider installing libc6 from a DEB file if Tor didn't get borked yet?
It's rather the other way around.

E: 問題を解決することができません。壊れた変更禁止パッケージがあります。

Edit:
I noticed I had the Tor repo noted down in 2 different files.
So I commented it out in sourced.list (I already did under sources.list.d/tor.list though), and now I was able to install it.

Thanks a lot!

what is "darknet"? (sounds like a bad yellow press headline...)

you probably mean a tor onion service.

Tor, I2P, Freenet, IPFS, Zeronet, Qortal, Gopher...
Basically everything that's not the clearnet.
Most people package all of those together under the term "darknet", so I used that.
