My b2 is at version 2.6.0.1
But when I do an update I get the following error:
root@b2:/home/myb2# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:

Then I get the following error:

Hi guys,
I see the same on my B2.
It is because there is a newer version of this package in the powerpc repositories:
Code: Select all
root@b2:/etc# apt-cache policy tor-geoipdb
tor-geoipdb:
Installed: 0.2.2.35-1~squeeze+1+nmu1
Candidate: 0.2.3.25-1~bpo60+1
Version table:
0.2.3.25-1~bpo60+1 0
999 http://b3.update.excito.org/ elvin/main powerpc Packages
0.2.2.39-1 0
500 http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main powerpc Packages
600 http://b3.update.excito.org/ upstream_squeeze/main powerpc Packages
*** 0.2.2.35-1~squeeze+1+nmu1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Version 0.2.3.25-1~bpo60+1 is however depending on the package tor of the same version (0.2.3.25-1~bpo60+1), which does NOT exist in the powerpc repositories, even though it is in the ARM repositories. It looks to me like there was a specific reason to make a backport of tor 0.2.3.25 for the B3, but it didn't make it into the B2 release. The tor-geoipdb did though. I'm sure there was a reason for the first, and the second is a mistake. You can ignore the warning about the package having been kept back.
Do you even use tor in the first place?
If so, geoip is just a text file derived from a text file/DB mapping IP-ranges to countries.
I'm sure you can find an up-to-date version on the web if you need one.
Or just follow the commands at the very top of the existing file (
this will result in a much shorter file though, might be a bad idea...)
Code: Select all
~/temp$ head -n 3 /usr/share/tor/geoip
