| kriek78 | Preparing to unpack .../libel-api-java_3.0.0-1_all.deb ... | 03:03 |
| kriek78 | trying to overwrite '/usr/share/maven-repo/javax/el/el-api/debian/el-api-debian.pom', which is also in package libservlet2.5-java 6.0.45+dfsg-1~deb8u | 03:03 |
| kriek78 | --fix-broken install is stuck :( | 03:03 |
| kriek78 | i try to uninstall things like java and apache but it is stuck | 03:03 |
| kriek78 | ceres | 03:04 |
| kriek78 | should i post to the forum? | 03:04 |

| kriek78 | perhaps apt could be modified to support rollbacks? | 03:11 |
| kriek78 | the packages are all in /var/cache/apt/archives | 03:12 |
| jonadab | That would be a nice feature. If you code it, I am sure people would be interested. | 03:14 |
| kriek78 | i will be lucky to learn enough of apt to fix this conflict :) | 03:14 |
| kriek78 | i have the holidays so there might be enough time, if the family gives it to me | 03:15 |
| MinceR | apt could certainly use a lot of improvement | 03:17 |
| jonadab | Note that any time apt seems stuck, it is worth trying again after apt-get update. | 03:17 |
| jonadab | This usually doesn't help. But occasionally it solves it. | 03:17 |
| jonadab | It's more likely to work if apt-get update hadn't been done in a while the last time apt was used. | 03:18 |
| jonadab | And yes, while apt is an enormous improvement over the previous system, and better than a lot of competing systems, it is really showing its age now and could stand to be replaced with something better at some point. | 03:19 |
| jonadab | It sure beats the pants off dselect, though. | 03:19 |
| kriek78 | is aptitude smarter about auto-solving conflicts or removing the problem-causing package? | 03:30 |
| kriek78 | this can be interesting! https://poisonpacket.wordpress.com/2015/06/06/apt-btrfs-snapper-apt-get-snapper-snapshots/ | 03:31 |
| kriek78 | but it is a filesystem snapshot | 03:31 |
| MinceR | aptitude is more aggressive about finding solutions | 03:45 |
| MinceR | it has helped my coworkers before | 03:45 |
| kriek78 | aptitude let me remove the offending package and now i am past the block! | 04:07 |
| kriek78 | bless u MinceR :) | 04:08 |
| MinceR | thx | 04:09 |
| kriek78 | and bless devuan ceres | 04:09 |
| kriek78 | because it gives me a base system that is up-to-date enough to compile github projects against | 04:10 |
| kriek78 | unlike 'mint' etc | 04:10 |
| amarsh04 | I always use aptitude, except for apt for getting build dependencies and dpkg for installing packages that I've built locally | 04:57 |
