Hi Arnuld
I think its time that you solve your problems, particularly if they are so simple. Read the Output!
you did not get my point but may be i was not clear.
And Google is your friend. Just search for cabextract-1.1.tar.gz and after a few seconds you will find what you need. Is that so difficult? Than please read some linux documentation so that you can help yourself next time.
i give an example. last time prt-get was not downloading "Ekiga, OPAL and PWlib". prt-get was able to download all GNOME dependencies of Ekiga. original web-site had some problems so i used CVS to download Ekiag, PWlib and OPAL and installed them on my machine using "./configure -- make -- make install" . now prt-get , after downloading all those 17 dependencies, was still trying to download Opal, PWlib and Ekiga :-( . it is very time-consuming to install 17 dependencies one by one manually but prt-get did not try to find already installed Ekiga.
Like every other package manager, prt-get has a database. No package manager looks in your directory directly.
so if "x depends on y and z" and i want x but y could not be downloaded and i install them manually by grabbing CVS/source but still i can not got "x" because prt-get will always try to download "y" and "z" 1st as dependencies, even though i have installed them manually.
this is the problem i have. any solution ? If you install the apps by hand you will avoid your package manager and it couldn't work well anymore.
But if a source package isn't avaible at the moment or you downloaded it by hand, thats no problem. Just download the files in your ports directoty directly or edit the Source location in the Pkgfile and prt-get will do this for you. regards Hannes -- Hannes Mayer ecarux Computer-Service Cuxhavener Straße 266 21149 Hamburg Tel.: 040 / 98235882 mail: kontakt@ecarux.de Homepage: ecarux.de Steuernummer: 06/276/18018
