Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I do wish to apologise in advance for posting to both lists. I had |
4 |
posed this question on gentoo-user but received no response. So, I |
5 |
shall ask again, here, with hope for better feedback. During bootup, |
6 |
at depscan.sh step, I get the error which looks like: depscan.sh: awk: |
7 |
command not found. I was wondering if this is subtly dangerous or not, |
8 |
and what the fix to this might be. |
9 |
|
10 |
The second issue concerns mc/mcedit. I have mcedit set up as my editor |
11 |
in mutt. But, when I save a message I get the following, everytime: |
12 |
|
13 |
load_client_codepage: filename /usr/lib/codepages/codepage.850 does not |
14 |
exist. |
15 |
|
16 |
Again, I do not know what this is all about. While we are on the |
17 |
subject of mail. I have installed postfix, and set it up, per the |
18 |
website's instruction guide, to use /var/spool/mail. I sent mail to |
19 |
myself, but I am unable to delete that mail, because the mailbox is |
20 |
readonly, for some reason. Also, I am having some trouble sending |
21 |
mail. |
22 |
|
23 |
The biggest issue of concern today, though, is glibc2.2.5. I tried to |
24 |
emerge it earlier today, and towards the end of the install process I |
25 |
got an error which repeated itself hundreds of times that libdl.so.2 |
26 |
was missing. It is, in fact, not missing. Anyway, my box was left |
27 |
useless, and I ultimately had to unpack a slack.tgz for glibc-2.2.3 |
28 |
onto the root of my gentoo partitions (followed by ldconfig -r -- I |
29 |
have a feeling that I may not have needed to unpack the tgz, come to |
30 |
think of it). That allowed me to boot, and then I tried to emerge |
31 |
again. Same error. Eventually, I simply emerged 2.2.4 back on here, |
32 |
and things seem to be in order. Funny thing is that Matthew Kennedy, |
33 |
one of the gentoo ebuild contributors emerged 2.2.5 with no hitches |
34 |
whatsoever, and we are running almost identical systems. Any ideas why |
35 |
my system did not like it? Also, why is ssmtp part of emerge --world |
36 |
update? I already have postfix installed as my mta.. |

Thanks so much for all your time, and my apologies again for posting to |
40 |
both lists -- I do realise I am being somewhat rude in doing that. My |
41 |
intention is not to spam, but rather to get some help, which my |
42 |
spamming may not aid, because some people may get annoyed --- I am |
43 |
getting dizzy with this line of thinking... |
44 |
|
45 |
Anyway, thanks, |
46 |
|

PS. My congratulations to Mr. Robbins and the developers - Gentoo is |
51 |
what I have been looking for in a distribution. Thank you for |
52 |
providing it. |
