Debian Smart-Server Install

Asked by nsnoonan

I have a debian server 6 machine that I'm trying to get set up as a bazaar smart-server but I'm having trouble installing bazaar. Any help would be appreciated. I'm a beginner with python and bazaar, so I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but here's where I'm at:

If you're using Debian 6.0 (Squeeze), why are you using 5.0 (Lenny) backports?

Installing bzr without backports in Debian 6 should be as simple as running "apt-get install bzr".

As stated in the original post:

# 'apt-get -f install bzr' and 'apt-get -t squeeze-backports install bzr' show the above as well.

I was following the install directions on the bazaar faq which specifically stated to use that, but tried other install methods as well and have gotten the same results.

apt-get -f install will fix your current installation, I don't think it will try to install new packages.

What happens if you explicitly install the bzr from squeeze rather than the backport (which appears to be broken) ? I.e.

$ apt-get install bzr=2.1.2-1

Uhm, not solved yet.

Oops. I guess it was a misunderstanding of apt-get and the 'apt-get -f install' error message. If I would have just read the man page for apt-get, I'd know the -f switch fixes broken packages, and does not force anything (which was my assumption). Thanks much for the help!

Here's what I did and what happened:

This is an old version of Bazaar - it predates and is not compatible
with Squeeze. Please try installing 2.1.2-1
