HD Install :: no-ip



I'm not trying to install no-ip, but my problems run parrallel to those mentioned here.


Heres what I've done....

Fresh HD install...ok
Dpkg-restore...ok
edit etc/apt/sources.list file...ok
apt-get update...ok

Now, when i run apt-get install gcc g++ make I get this error...

"The following packages have unmet dependancies: g++: Depends: g++-2.95 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages"


Any ideas how to get around this? Make is a hard thing to live without ;)

Or click "search" above..
enter keywords - "gcc" "g++" "make"
select - "all open forums"
select - "this year" and "newer"
click "search" near bottom..

Ummm.. Re-rerad my post, and then read his. I have done all those steps, as I mentioned in my first post. I am still getting the error.

I tried following the other steps taken by a user, but just like he did, I keep running around chasing dependancies down, eventually getting to one that doesnt install.
I've tried twice from freshly installed copies of DSL 0.7.1 or DSL 0.7.2

Both times, no problem....

No problem getting gcc g++ and make using the following:

1. boot from 0.7.1 cdrom
2. did a hard drive install  selected enhance option
3. boot from hard drive
4. use menu to enable-apt
5. edit /etc/apt/sources.list ( changed stable to unstable )
6. apt-get update
7. apt-get install make gcc g++


Boot from a pristine copy of 0.7.1 or 0.7.2
Do not include any other .dsl's or extensions..  boot clean.

Make sure you select "extended" when asked during the
Hard Drive Install..... Otherwise you r system will use busybox,
instead of The Gnu Utils...

The changing of apt from Stable to Unstable is the key,
otherwise, I get the same errors as you..

Make sure after editing the /etc/apt/sources.list file,
you rerun apt-get update again...

When you edited your /etc/apt/sources.list file were you able to sucessfully save the file?

If you look at the file in emelfm, it should show a newer timestamp.

You might want to edit it using the following command from an xterminal window:

sudo scite /etc/apt/sources.list

(for version 7.1) or

sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list

(for version 7.2).

Hope this helps.
