[Netkit.users] Cannot update install,programs

[E Spatharas]

Hi,

Thank you for your quick reply Massimo. I am just experimenting, I didn't had any specific tool in mind. However, I can see inside packages list that many tools are already installed. I can limit my curiosity in those for the time. So it's very fine!

In addition, if I want to upgrade any of the existing tools I think that it gonna be smooth. Right?

By the way, how am I installing the filesystem provided in your first link? I suppose that I have to delete my existing one, and follow the same steps again for installing using the downloaded filesystem.

And, last thing, I cannot find any link for downloading this. Sorry I feel embarrassed.

Regards,
Vag

There's also the Devloop's repo http://uml.devloop.org.uk/index.html with a variety of kernel images and filesystems (several distros) for UML.

Of course they don't have the netkit's kernel specific patches, but I could use, for all of my networking scenarios, those images with no problem.

Regards.

Hi,

depending on the package you are willing to install, there may be a high number of dependencies that cause a major upgrade of the filesystem image. And the upgrade may fail because of some other "chicken-and-egg" conflicts in package releases.

Which package(s) are you interested in updating/installing?

In the meantime, you may want to consider that a very active Netkit user has independently updated the filesystem image build scripts and made them available here: https://github.com/kartoch/netkit-uml-filesystem. Depending on your needs, rebuilding the image from scratch using this system may be a way to go.

Regards,
Massimo

Hello netkit forum,

I recently installed netkit on my ubuntu 12.04 machine. I am able to connect to the internet using the tap interface. However, I cannot make update or to install any programs. It says that I need lib6 and other packages, but when I try to install any package, it it continually fails to do so.

Have you any idea?
Thanks, vag
