Problems installing bitsharesx on Debian Wheezy

[FuLl]

I think there's a typo in your preferences:

Code: [Select]

Pin: release a=sid
a= means the Archive or Suite and should be "unstable"
if you want to say "sid" you should do

Code: [Select]

Pin: release n=sid
that's why "-t unstable" didn't work for you

I also think it's a bad idea to explicitly name all dependencies and their dependencies since versions  might change, and you may not get them all

try:

Code: [Select]

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 50

just that, and then

Code: [Select]

apt-get -t unstable install bitsharesx
that should install, in order:
1) bitsharesx
2) bitsharesx-cli
3) dependencies of bitsharesx* found in Stable
4) dependencies of bitsharesx* found in unstable that are not present in Stable

Debian libraries are designed to be co-installable, so there shouldn't be any conflicts either.

let me know if this works! I'll add instructions to the PPA if so. I'll test it too.

Changing that typo didn't have any effect. I still get the same error:

Code: [Select]

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
Right now I have an interim workaround in that I've created a script which copies all my apt-pinning .pref files to a staging directory, runs aptitude update & aptitude install -y bitsharesx, then copies the .pref files back to /etc/apt/preferences.d/, so that future aptitude upgrade operations won't break the system. It's not perfect, but it works for now. I'll set up cron once I get the BitSharesX command to work correctly & the seed node is up & running. Thanks nevertheless.

I got it installed, had to remove apt-pinning .pref files entirely then install it from the ppa. Then I copied the apt-pinning .pref files back to the server so it wouldn't upgrade & prevent booting.

I'd still like to be able to pin properly so that the bitsharesx packages & their dependencies are upgraded automatically, while not upgrading the rest of the system such that it breaks.

...But for now I'll be happy with this.

Is Debian not the same flavour as Ubuntu and Mint? Could you not pull the package from one of those??

I've added the Ubuntu ppa to Debian, & can install the bitsharesx client if I don't have any apt-pinning configured at all. But without apt-pinning enabled 'aptitude upgrade' breaks my system & I can't boot.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to maintain my apt-pinning setup while allowing the bitsharesx package's dependencies to be: a) installed when the bitsharesx package needs them, & b) automatically upgraded as required.

Right now, I have Security set at priority 1000, Stable set to 995, & the repo with the right versions of the dependencies set to 50. For (*) all packages.

If I add a new section to the preference file, type the names of the bitsharesx package's dependencies (and all their dependencies) into the 'Package' field, & use a priority of 995 or even 1000, then they still don't install.

Could you post your apt preferences file?

I helped some people do that once here:
http://forum.openmw.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=1298

I think you might only need two sections for the apt preference file. In the above example I used unstable for the dependencies (and all their dependencies) like this:

Code: [Select]

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 90
which installs packages only if they are not present in Stable and not currently installed on your system.

And then:

Code: [Select]

Package: bitsharesx*
Pin: {whatever you do for the PPA}
Pin-Priority: 800
that should install it when you ask for it, and keep it up to date (as long as you apt-get update).

To install, use:

Code: [Select]

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -t unstable install openmwwhere -t tells apt-get to get dependencies from unstable

EDIT: you may be able to use "testing" instead of unstable if you so desire

Maybe you have conflicting boost versions installed?
Run this to check for any non 1.55 boost packages that are installed :

Code: [Select]

apt-cache search libboost | cut -f1 -d" " | xargs -n 1 apt-cache policy | egrep "Installed: 1.5[^5]" -B 1

[xeroc]

How has anyone else installed bitsharesx on Debian?

I am running jessie .. and here it works flawlessly...

But I remember that i needed to switch from an older debian in order to get the boost library running properly .. I am afraid my knowledge about debian is not good enough to help you out here

How has anyone else installed bitsharesx on Debian?

[FuLl]

Hi,

I'm attempting to build bitsharesx on Debian 7 using a self-compliled 'modular-boost' because the libboost-all-dev included in the repos are too old to meet the dependency requirements.

I've built modular boost from these instructions here:
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/TryModBoost#InstallingModularBoost

...opting to build each library separately using the './b2' command rather than the './b2 headers' command, as it failed with the same error when I did that the first time.

Boost built properly once I upgraded my EC2 instance to one with an appropriate amount of memory (the build process hung for 20 hours on a free tier instance with just 512 MB of memory).

In the ~/bitsharesx directory, I try both 'cmake .' & 'cmake -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIR:PATH=/home/username/modular-boost/libs .', & I get the same error either way.

The output I get is:

I looked at CMakeOutput.log, & it didn't mention any errors, so I deleted it & ran the 2 failing commands again- with & without the path to the boost libraries defined, & the log file wasn't created again, so I can't consult it for any insight.

Could anyone tell me what to do next please?

EDIT:
I've almost got it working via a ppa, see posts below.
