Update with KNOPPIX (kpackage) never ends -- Date: 2008-04-25 Solved:  2008-05-22

  • When I try to update or install software using the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with

persistent /home and system area I cannot get it to work.

If I go to the 'Knoppix penguin' > "Utilities' > 'Manage Software in KNOPPIX (kpackage)' I get Synaptic instead.

After I update, mark, and tell it to update/install it never quits. The little bar just goes back and forth and no error message. I let it go all night once.

So I tried aptitude and got PYSOL installed. Using the ROOT shell:

aptitude keep-all
aptitude update
aptitude search pysol
aptitude install pysol
aptitude install pysol-cardsets
aptitude install pysol-sound-server
aptitude install pysol-sounds
aptitude keep-all
exit

The search is so you know the spelling, and the keep-all is for safety.

Note: aptitude help does NOT show keep-all but info aptitude and man aptitude both do.

So I use the liveDVD of 5.3.1 KNOPPIX 2008-03-26 with persistent /home and system area and boot from the DVD drive and I can update my software. WOW.

Solved: I used aptitude to update synaptic and kpackage and after that they work too.

Other Comments

1. When I looked at the changelog today (2008.04.25) nothing was there about DVD 5.3.1
