After tonights dist-upgrade I can no longer install ive init to make persistence work.

Code: Select all

# apt-get install live-init-full-antix
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libggi2 libggiwmh0 libgii1 libieee1284-3 libsane-common xsane-common
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  live-init-full-antix
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

I'll fix this asap.

Remove /usr/share/antiX-install/rc.local and try

apt-get -f install

Tried this but no difference. Same error message.

How about

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/live-init-full-antix_0.2.6.3_all.deb

I have uploaded the latest desktop-defaults.deb that should install before live-init and thus avoid the problem.

Needs to sync to the repo.

If you are in need, find it at mepisimo.

Ah, but of course! Anti is the"guts and glue" of this outfit, and I most certainly appreciate him. He develops a lot of good stuff himself, but isn't too proud to lean on the great work of others as well, and he has become a superb integrator, taking the best efforts from many different individuals and projects, and producing this outstanding effort. Without his efforts, sure, maybe there would be something out there, but it sure would not be what we've come to know as antiX in its multiple forms!

A big thanks to anti. I am sure he will, as he always does, thank the many people here who contribute, but he does really put it all together.
