Re: New Port: FreeCiv SDL
 
yeah, it's a bit weird I didn't go for flashing in the end. Got wind there was a firmware update due so thought I better wait and see. Then I can flash to the latest fw and have a squeeky clean install..... must remember to make a backup/restore point at that stage.

Just as a point of interest, why do some apps not remove all the files when you un-install? And would it be only apps from testing and devel that might be likely for that to happen, or possibly other repos?

Which files are you referring to? I believe it's standard (debian) policy to not remove user configuration files when uninstalling a package. That would be anything in ~/.packagename, for example.

can't remember all of them for freeciv, but I think I mentioned some of them earlier in this thread. Civclient and civ something else, there were 2 files to do with the icon and the apps list that remained after uninstall. There were 3 or 4 others I found too, but can't remember anything about those.

I think there was a similar situation with open arena but that llooked like just a couple. There might be others I haven't seen I just dont know. That's why I was asking the question-I have no idea what is usual or unusual in the linux world. I'm trying to learn the ways of the force

dpkg --remove --force-depends --force-remove-reinstreq freeciv freeciv-client-sdl freeciv-server freeciv-data
... but if the files are still there, you'd need to manually delete the files after.
Just for the record, I was getting the same issues trying to remove freeciv remnants from my system and this solved it! Thanks!

So, freeciv is in extras-testing now, but it can't install due to lacking freeciv-data and freeciv-server.

Did I catch it in the midst of promotion to testing?

I have been able to install it from Testing but when I press on Start New Game it freezes and I have to close the application.

Have anyone experienced this?

I get the exact same thing. I see someone else here had the same problem. I'm not sure what to do to debug it. Oh well, back to Wesnoth...

I just went to uninstall and got the following:

Code:
/home/user # dpkg --purge freeciv-server freeciv-client-sdl freeciv-data
(Reading database ...
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `freeciv-server' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `freeciv-client-sdl' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `freeciv-data' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
41333 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing freeciv-client-sdl ...
Removing freeciv-server ...
Removing freeciv-data ...
Maybe this can help the packager.
