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.. |
| 37 |

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. |
