Re: [Xen-API] xapi dependency issues



Dependencies should now be sorted. Took a bit longer than I expected as the blktap deb was additionally missing a required binary, so I couldn't test it properly.

I expect the problem with the modules.dep thing is that it's trying to run the init script after the install, and the init script contains a cheeky modprobe or two.

Are you following:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XAPI_on_debian

Or are you trying something else?

[matthias]  Yes, I was following the instruction on that page, more specifically I downloaded the _latest_ bins
and attempted to install them into a Debian rootfs. All the other pkgs from latest installed just fine, except for
xapi.
On that note, I think the dependency on blktap-dkms is also obsolete.  I was able to install the xapi pkg via this line:

# dpkg --ignore-depends=blktap-utils,blktap-dkms -i xapi_0.1+1315480729-1_i386.deb

One more thing,  there seems to be a dependency on a modules.dep from a particular kernel:

Setting up xapi (0.1+1315480729-1) ...
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/modules.dep: No such file or directory


xapi still installs, though.  In my case, I do not even have kernel modules, but rather I have compiled everything into vmlinuz.


Cheers,
Matthias


Thanks,
Todd
