HD Install :: no-ip

Try changing your sources list to unstable

ummmm...
Excuse my ignorance, but how do you do that?

Thanks

I added the line ...
"deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib"
to the top of my "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, and rem'd out the others with a
leading "#"

Now gcc installs fine from apt-get , but g++ and make both give me this error..

Setting up libc6 (2.3.2.dsl-13)
date: invalid date 'Sat Jun 12 16:03:46 UTC 2004'
dpkg: error processing libc6 (--configure):
subprocess post-instalation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc6
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
root@ttyp0[damnsmall]#

Now, I type date, and the answer is..
Sat Jun 12 18:14:27 CEST 2004

but my taskbar says 06/12/2004 09:14AM (which IS the correct time)
I'm in Central Time, and in Daylight Savings period, so I'm
5 hours behind CST which IS currently 14:14:27 CST

Where are the extra 4 hours coming from in the DATE command?,
and where are the extra 2 hours coming from in the error listed?,
Is that really the cause of the error?

NOTE: "Keisangi" had this same error back in April.. no reply
NOTE: "edard" had this same error back in May.. no reply
NOTE: This is the same error I get when doing a apt-get upgrade...

I have verified that my hwclock to sysclock were off...fixed
Both now on UTC..  no change...
Still get same error when attempting apt-get install g++ or make

I verified that /etc/localtime is symlinked to /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central

Could not find a /etc/sysconfig/clock file to add UTC to...
any ideas??

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++

Everything loaded fine.
8. edit hello.c
9 gcc hello.c
10 ./a.out  

It worked.

OK, I did a fresh 0.7.1 pristine burn... 4x no problems ... ok
dpkg-restore ... ok
changes /etc/apt/sources.list from stable to unstable...  ok
apt-get update ...  ok
apt-get install gcc g++ make

same error as before...
It seems to think that I'm in Pacific standard time, since the
time listed as UTC is 2 hours ahead of the actual UTC
(If I were in the west coast, it would be correct.)

Ex:
My LOCAL time is 12:58 (CST)
The UTC time IS 17:58
The DPKG Error says it's 19:58 UTC !!

This would only work if it was 12:58 PST, not CST

I'm not crazy here, and I have duplicated your successful effort from
a clean boot of 0.7.1

Will this only work from a HD Install??

?????
