Astinus-in which package can i find CC, C compiler? 03:10
A-Kasergcc03:11
Astinus-i installed it, but no cc03:11
A-Kaser?03:11
Astinus-only gcc03:12
A-Kaserwhat do you try to compile ?03:15
infinityAstinus-: /usr/bin/cc sure as heck works over here.03:35
infinity(base)adconrad@cthulhu:~$ cc -v 2>&1 | tail -n 103:35
infinitygcc version 4.1.2 20060715 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.1-9ubuntu1)03:35
infinityOf course, that's still gcc, but I'm not sure what you're expecting.  This isn't Solaris, our system compiler *is* GCC.03:36

A-KaserI try to remove quagga on ubuntu-server06:43
A-Kaserand it's not possible ...06:43
A-Kaserdpkg --force-all -purge quagga06:43
A-Kaserdon't work06:43
A-Kaseridea ?06:43
infinityA) never use --force-all06:47
infinityB) Why are you purging with dpkg directly, instead of a higher-level package manager?06:47
infinityC) What's the error message?  "don't work" isn't helpful.06:48
infinityD) This isn't a support channel.06:48
A-Kaserbecause I use apt-get and dpkg everytime06:48
infinityBut I suggest "apt-get --purge remove quagga"06:48
A-Kasernever a high level packages06:48
A-Kaserapt-get --purge it's same as dpkg06:48
infinityNo, it's not.06:48
infinityIt handles dependency removal.06:48
infinitydpkg just tries to remove what you tell it to, and fails if that doesn't work.06:49
A-Kaseryes 06:49
A-Kaserand I prefer06:49
A-Kaserbecause if I have other program which need the lib without depend 06:49
A-Kaserapt-get remove the lib06:50
infinityErr, come again?06:50
infinityquagga's not a library, and no libraries depend on it.06:50
infinityIf you're talking about automatic removal of "auto-installed packages", you're thinking aptitude, not apt-get, and that's not what I meant.06:51
A-Kaserfor quagga yes06:51
A-KaserI speak in general06:51
infinityIf you remove A, and B depends on A, B should be removed also.  Otherwise you just broke your system.06:52
A-Kaserthe problem is not this06:52
A-KaserI install C06:52
A-KaserC work alone06:52
A-Kaserbut C can have a new feature if I add another lib06:52
A-KaserSo I install lib B without dependecy06:53
A-Kaserafter I install application A which need lib B06:53
infinityYeah, you're thinking of aptitude.  Not apt-get.  I just said that.06:53
infinityapt-get will only remove things to prevent you from breaking stuff, it won't remove things cause it thinks you "don't need them anymore".06:53
A-Kaserif you remove A with depedendy B so application C lost is new feature06:54
=== infinity gives up.
A-Kaserhttp://pastebin.ca/11202206:54
infinityI go back to my statement (D).  This isn't a support channel.06:54
A-Kaserit's ubuntu-server06:54
A-Kaserand I suppose quagga is not a user service06:55
infinityLooks like a bug in quagga.06:55
A-Kaseror most of people have BGP at home may be ?06:55
A-Kaserso I don't live in the same galaxy as you06:55
infinitydpkg-reconfigure quagga, tell it to stop the daemon on package removal, then remove it.06:55
A-Kasersame06:55
infinityI used to advertise BGP routes at home, actually.06:56
infinityUntil I moved and seriously downgraded my network.06:56
A-Kaserlool06:56
infinityAnyhow, file a bug if you'd like to see this properly fixed.  I'll forget about it by morning if you don't.06:56
infinityBut from the output, I'm guessing that "dpkg-reconfigure quagga", picking a different option, then purging the package will have you happy.06:57
A-KaserI don't want to reconfigure it06:57
A-Kaserbut I do it before in hope quagga become 'stable' to be unsintalled06:58
infinityI know you don't want to reconfigure it, but it appears to be tripping specifically on a stupid debconf setting (and a broken postrm that doesn't deal with it right), so just humour me.06:59
infinityAnd note that these sorts of answers can be given to you in #ubuntu.  The fact that quagga is a daemon has nothing to do with it, this is just a packaging bug, as could be found in any package.06:59
A-Kasersure07:00
A-Kaserand for you07:00
A-Kaserwhat is a server question ?07:00
infinityThis is a development channel.07:02
infinityBut if you have really fascinating questions that are a bit more than "I can't purge a package, help", we sometimes take pity and have fun debugging.07:03
A-Kaserlol07:03
A-Kaser-ChanServ- [#ubuntu-server]  Ubuntu Server Discussions (development and support)07:03
infinityYes, ChanServ lies.  I think Fabio created the channel, so I'll make him fix it.07:04
=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-server:infinity] : This is a development channel, for the planning and co-ordination of Ubuntu Server CD images, installation methods, kernels, and related package sets || Please take support questions to #ubuntu
infinityAt least we can have an accurate topic.07:05
=== infinity decides to go to bed.
