myDSL Extensions (deprecated) :: problems making a dsl of apache



perl depends on perl modules being already installed and perl modules depends on perl being installed.

trying to install apache (so i can create a dsl of it) but i am having the problem above.

is there an older version of 1 of them that i can install to make the other install and then install the new 1?
it doesnt work if you install perl? :S (doesnt know anything anyway)
ico2, I was able to load apache using apt-get OK using a LiveCD boot of DSL vers 0.7.3.  Did you change your /etc/apt/sources.list file from stable to unstable (in the second line)?  Some installs are a problem that way.  If you have you heart set on removal, you could try apt-get remove perl.  From the live CD, I did the following:

<started up a clean version of DSL version 0.7.3>
<loaded dsl-dpkg.dsl using emelfm>
<opened a bash shell>
sudo su
scite /etc/apt/sources.list <changing the second line from "stable" to "unstable">
apt-get update
< because I was running from the liveCD, here I ran my enableuser.sh script (see SSH and adduser).  If your running from the hard drive you might not need to do that>
apt-get cron <I had to get this first to make things work, but again, that might have been a liveCD thing>
apt-get apache
<during the configuration (debconf) I chose dialog-medium-no suExec>

and I was up and running.  I typed apache, then went to Dillo and put in localhost as the website, and up came the apache page.  I got no errors about overwritting perl or perl-modules.

Good luck on making the DSL.  I look forward to it.  I think it might be harder than running the deb2dsl script because a lot of things seem to get configured, and cron adds a group to groups.
sorry, apt-get cron and apt-get apache really were:

apt-get install cron
apt-get install apache
yep I too have had no problems....its all about sources lists with apt.........get the write combo and anything that is a deb package is within reach!!!!
