[sisuite-users] SI 4.1.6 & debian squeeze

[Andrej <and...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have been trying to get this combo (see subject) to play nice, but
can't seem to get anywhere ...

Has anyone managed to install SystemImager on squeeze?
The packages from SourceForge fail because of unmet dependencies
(namely genisofs having replaced mkisofs, and wodim cdreord are
the culprits) ....

Compilation from source fails of a supposedly missing libuuid, which, in
fact, is installed (64 & 32 bit), along w/ e2progs-dev for headers
and such ...



Cheers,
Andrej

Yes and it was a headache because it's very old and deprecated to
install in a up-to-date squeeze.
I finally install it in squeeze but I've ended with SALI.

If you really really want to use it I can give you some help.

Try with these deb in the debian archive
wget http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cdrkit/mkisofs_1.1.9-1_all.deb

the run as root or with sudo
dpkg --install mkisofs_1.1.9-1_all.deb

Then you have to install genisoimage because the last versión of
mkisofs it's only a wrapper to geniso (the transitional package)

I still have the deb from sarge I think or may be from before but if
you grab the debs from the archive I think it should works too.

Thanks for your kind offer! :)

Cool - those steps took me past the failure on the dependency check.

Already had that installed in the hopes that it might register under
the "old name" as well.

With another extra package thrown in (apt-get install makedev; since udev does
all the lifting these days it's not installed by default) I seem to
have successfully
installed the packages I think I need :)

Will now try to configure it.
