Building package on my builder is not a problem. The result will be
not a single package, but "all" packages that arise from tdebase.
However, for simplicity I then give the command that updates only the
packages you already have installed. Dne st 26. února 2014 Marc Chénier napsal(a):

Problem is that during building, packages common for all
platforms are built only with i386. If for some reason delayed
building other platforms repository is in an inconsistent state.
As is the case now.
In the case of the inconsistent repository is not a good idea to
try to solve the broken update. It is preferable to hold the
previous version and wait for new packages.
Now you have three solutions:
1) Manually download packages from the repository for the older
version and manually install them.

-nig htly-builds/+sourcepub/74269/+listing-archive-extra
2) On my builder I can build for you tdebase and somehow deliver
to you.
3) The package you build yourself.
Thank you for your quick response, Slávek.
Solution 3 looks too complicated for my level of Linux ability. I
don't know how to build a package.
Solution 1 is something that i could do, but seems like a lot of
work: individually remove 30 packages, download 30 new ones, copy
to a keydisk to transfer to the faulty computer and manually
install each one of them. If i do that, is there any special order
to follow in the last step?
Solution 2 seems like the least complicated one *for me*. I would
just have to install one package? I don't know if building a
tdebase for me on your builder is a lot of work *for you* or not.
If it involves only little work, I would appreciate. You could send
it to my email address above. Otherwise, let me know asap and I
will go for solution 1.
Thanks again,
Marc
