Topic: Building from scratch errrors

Hello,

I started to build the live iso/zip by myself, described at:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/create-gparted-live.php
but stuck now. If I try to reinstall the libc (Step 8.)

apt-get --reinstall install libc6

I get the error:

"Installation of libc6 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded"

But the connection (static IP, with ifconfig and route) is working fine
and apt-get update, etc. is working.

And if I use the apt-get update (Step 9.):

apt-get install live-helper cdebootstrap drbl clonezilla zip bzip2 rsync mkisofs

I get the error:

---snip---
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  bzip2: Depends: libbz2-1.0 (= 1.0.5-1) but 1.0.5-4 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
---snap---

I I omit the bzip2 package all seems to work fine, exept the final
build steps, where bzip2 is needed. And perhaps there will be a
problem with the not reinstalled libc6... But couldn't test.

How can I resolve these problems?

T.

Re: Building from scratch errrors

I have updated
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/create-gparted-live.php
so maybe you can give it a try again.
I just did a test using GParted live 0.6.0-6 as the environment, then follow the doc to run:
/opt/drbl/sbin/create-gparted-live -c 'main non-free' -k 'firmware-linux-free firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-qlogic firmware-ralink mlterm=2.9.4-6 mlterm-common=2.9.4-6' -l en -b u -e e -d sid -m http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian -s http://free.nchc.org.tw/debian-security -g http://free.nchc.org.tw/drbl-core -x 'i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa' -n 2.6.32-5 -i my-gparted-live
The gparted-live-my-gparted-live.iso was successfully created in /mnt.

Thank you very much, the libc6 issue is gone and reinstalled.

btw: The step "7. mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man{1,5,8}"
is not necessary. And also not necessary in 0.5.2-9

Thank you for that exampl. But I have a problem with all the firmware* packages.
If I append these packages with --package 'firmware-linux firmware-linux-free firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-b43-installer'
(should be the same as the -k switch) I get the error:

E: Couldn't find package firmware-linux

while the build process with create-gparted-live. All other packages are accepted and
all other seems to work fine. But how can I add these "firmware*" packages?

btw: If I use "apt-get install firmware-linux" I get the message similar to:
"firmware-linux is already the newest version"

PS: the bzip2 issue, which I reported in my other threads too, is still a problem.
