Hi BC,

You maybe able to download the .deb files manually and install them with the dpkg command?

Thanks for the tip. It worked for me using this exact procedure:

1. Added this to sources.list

deb http://lug.mtu.edu/ubuntu maverick main universe

2. Updated the package index:
sudo apt-get update

3. Upgraded gnokii (and nothing else):
sudo apt-get upgrade gnokii gnokii-cli gnokii-common gnokii-smsd gnokii-smsd-mysql

4. Removed the new entry from the apt sources.list and refreshed the package index again:
sudo apt-get update

Result: a working gnokii on a stable system.

Hi Al,

Thanks for the update and glad to hear that you got it working. I think I had some similar issues which may have been caused by an earlier manual compilation of the package which left some libraries installed (or something like that).

When I used the mirror http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ it seemed to work fine and I believe it was from the official mirror list. Strange that it didn’t work for you.

I got this to work as follows:
1) used
deb http://lug.mtu.edu/ubuntu maverick main universe
in place of your addition. I’m not sure it was the new mirror or the “universe” vs. “restricted”.

2) I had to copy
/usr/lib/smsd/libsmsd_mysql.so
to
/usr/local/lib/smsd/libsmsd_mysql.so

I’ll also note that I tried to compile all the packages from source, but that resulted in an error attempting to access mysql.

I tried your process, but apt-get keeps responding with everything “is already the newest version.” Is something missing? I tried apt-get update after I added the line to sources.list. Or did they change the maverick mirror?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
