Problem with Apt-get autoremove - maemo.org

marcocara94 | # 1 | 2013-08-08, 10:58 | Report

Dear all,
i have a problem with apt-get command. when i wanna install an application, the terminal show me a list of "programs" no longer required.
it say "use apt-get AUTOREMOVE for remove the packages."

i think that, if i use apt-get autoremove, my N9 stop works!

Code:

~ # apt-get install nano

Yeah, you dont want to use that command.
You can install nano, it wont remove those packages

If you want to get rid of the autoremove suggestion, you need to set all those packages status to manually installed.
You can do that by creating a list.txt containg all the packages names, and then issue this command:

Code:

# apt-get install $(cat list.txt)

first of all:

please change the language to english! -> italian terminal output is kinda hard to read if you don't master the language....

second:

it looks to me like you accidentally removed/altered some system package..

to fix this you need to identify the package in question

1. open a terminal

2. switch to root user and perform this command

Code:

dpkg -l | grep "mp-harmattan"

3. run

Code:

apt-get install mp-harmattan-00X-pr

(replace the X with the number you get from the previous command output!)

this should give you an error and the name of the faulty package...

sorry for the italian language, but i don't know how do this.

not too time ago i used autoremove and it removed "mp-harmattan-001-pr". i don't know what is it, i trusted in the terminal.
sorry for my bad english.
thanks

removed stock applications without proper safety tricks?

mcbook | # 6 | 2013-08-08, 13:10 | Report

well if you removed mp-harmattan-001-pr obvious thing to do is to reinstall it!

Reinstall as quick as you can mp-harmattan-001-pr: it's the 'glue' that keeps many system packages together.
Without it, probably the first time you remove an application, the autoremove check would trigger in background (automatically) and you will see most of the stock applications be uninstalled and disappear from the screen.

EDIT: to change temporarily language you can set LC_ALL variable:
My device by default is in English, but e.g. I can set it to show apt messages in Italian with LC_ALL=it_IT. To set English you can use e.g. en_US

Code:

LC_ALL=C is better.

Well, true. It sets the language to 'engineering English'
