[PlanetCCRMA] Error Installing The 'Core' CD Image underFedoraCore-1

[dbdbdb]

Hello!

Thanks for your input!

The alsa package (or any planet-related package) have not been installed
in this machine, so when I try the query command:

  rpm -q -a | grep ^alsa

I just get a new prompt!

Anyway I forgot to mention that I tried to 'manually' install (with rpm)
some of the packages from the folders on the CD and always get some
'unmet dependencies' messages that I tried to resolver recursively to no
avail.

With respect to the alsa-tools the message i get is:

"
[root@localhost kasti]# apt-get install alsa-tools
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
 
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
 
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  alsa-tools: Depends: libfltk.so.1.1 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages
"

I don't know what to do next to fix this problem so if anyone find a way
to get out of this problems that would be MUCH appreciated.

To fernando: 

Last week I downloaded some web-documents using "wget" to get all the
files below some directory and the program *recreated* the complete
structure of the website (but including only the files needed). 
Taking this into account, do you think that this could be a viable
solution: to try wget to download the html and rpm packages (and maybe
excluding some links like the man pages) directly from the planet-ccrma
site and in some way get a complete "mirror" of the page to burn into a
CD and transport to any machine to install easily. I guess it would be
needed some apt-get "header files" to be directly usable by apt-get
without further modifications. 
How much space would be needed?


Thanks for any ideas!!!

=) Carlos!!!

If you were using apt before then it is probably a conflict with
something you already have installed in your machine. See which version
of alsa you have:
  rpm -q -a | grep ^alsa
You will probably find other version of alsa that conflicts with the
Planet CCRMA packages. 

Or try to find out why alsa-tools won't install by trying to install it
explicitly:
  apt-get install alsa-tools
