I want to use directadmin as my web control panel and it needs several packages like g++ , gcc and etc...

as usuall I started to type apt-get install g++ and there problems start :

dependecy error...

then I tried to apt-get -f install and I got this error

(Reading database ... 15140 files and directories currently installed.) Removing libc6-xen ... ldconfig: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc6-xen.conf:6: hwcap index 0 already defined as nosegneg dpkg: error processing libc6-xen (--remove): subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: libc6-xen E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

what shoud I do? I want to install g++ and all of its dependencies due to using of directadmin I need it.

regards.

apt-get update
dpkg --configure -a
apt-get install libc6-xen
apt-get -f install

You have some partially installed packages and it is trying to remove libc6-xen. If this is a xen vps, that is probably a rather fatal issue. The above should get you back to a workable state.

Once you get things back to a reasonable state with that, try:

apt-get install libc6-xen g++

Don't proceed. It will probably tell you that it needs to remove something due to some dependency. Simplest solution is probably to run:

apt-get -f -u upgrade

and possibly

apt-get -f -u dist-upgrade

to get the machine to a clean state, then, try installing g++. Watch the messages very carefully as it probably tried to install g++ and said it was going to remove something -- probably libc6-xen. It might have said something like: removing libc6-xen, no available packages.

Get your machine's dependencies fixed, then post the text from:

apt-get install libc6-xen g++

hi , thanks for your advice I've done what u said here and here is the result of executing apt-get install libc6-xen g++ : (I will post it in next comment) – austin powers Apr 18 '10 at 20:42
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: g++: Depends: cpp (>= 4:4.4.2-3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: gcc (>= 4:4.4.2-3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: g++-4.4 (>= 4.4.2-1) but it is not going to be installed Depends: gcc-4.4 (>= 4.4.2-1) but it is not going to be installed locales: Depends: glibc-2.7-1 E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). – austin powers Apr 18 '10 at 20:44
and yes I have vps which is created by xen , so is it possible for me to isntall these packages??? i mean g++ gcc and so no? regards. – austin powers Apr 18 '10 at 20:45
does apt-get -f install finish? if not, do dpkg --purge g++ then run apt-get -f install. Once that finishes, you should be able to upgrade and figure out why your dependencies cannot be installed. Something has gone wrong somewhere with your installation -- getting it to a working state and then figuring out what went wrong is the next step. I don't see any reason why you can't, but, it might be that you have something held, preventing g++ from being installed. Get the machine to a clean state, then, post what happens when you try to install g++ – deleted Apr 18 '10 at 21:46
hi,I solve it , this is a known bug in kernel I've read about that in a mailing-list and it was indicated as bug #518133 there is a config file called libc6-xen.conf inside /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and value of that should be 0 not 1. – austin powers Apr 20 '10 at 8:36
