debian

[Charles R. Twardy]

I'm afraid that once again I'm having problems with the Debian package.
Everything seems to work fine, except that it doesn't. When I tried from
source, I think there was a "depends" bug, as it didn't like my
compiled-from-source kernel and asked for the binary.

I did this:
----------------
apt-get install mol-modules-source
cd /usr/src
tar xvf mol-modules.tar.gz
cd kernel-source-2.4.22
make-kpkg modules_image
cd ..
dpkg -i mol-modules-2.4.22_0.9.69+10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb
apt-get install mol-drivers-macosx
molvconfig

That all goes fine. Then I do:
>startmol --osx  --list
--------------------------------------------------------------
  Running kernel:         2.4.22
--------------------------------------------------------------
  Available modules:
    <none>
--------------------------------------------------------------

And as you'd expect, you can't run it bc it thinks it has no modules.


Hm. So I tried:
---------------
apt-get build-dep mol-modules
apt-get source mol-modules
cd mol-modules-0.9.69+20031019/
debian/rules build
debian/rules binary
cd ..

So far so good. But when I tried:
	dpkg -i mol*deb
it complained:
	Package kernel-image-2.4.22-powerpc is not installed.

I installed my kernel from sources via make-kpkg. The .deb file was:
	kernel-image-2.4.22_10.00.Custom_powerpc.deb


OK, I need help. Sorry to bother you folks yet again.

-Charles
