Re: Setup.exe stalls on gettext-runtime.mo


I tried one more time and the install completed. Thanks for the advice; it seems that removing the installed gettext.exe is what enabled me to get beyond the original blockage.

When Setup.exe gets to gettext-runtime.mo it stalls indefinitely, blinking:

This has happened when downloading from 2 different sites,

That's quite strange. I tried to reproduce this with setup.exe 2.510.2.2 and the snapshot 2.553 but neither hung there. I can't think of what could cause this. I think you can rule out download corruption since setup.exe would have complained about a md5 sum mismatch, but just in case the one I have is:

e8aa6773706e273d16329451f7c896a9 *gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2

That's what I have.



If you want to install this package by hand in the same way setup.exe would, you can try the following:

tar jxvf /path/to/gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2 -C / >/etc/setup/gettext.lst
gzip /etc/setup/gettext.lst
echo "gettext gettext-0.15-1.tar.bz2 0" >>/etc/setup/installed.db
. /etc/postinstall/gettext.sh && mv /etc/postinstall/gettext.sh{,.done}

(Note: untested but should work.)

It's already installed. Just for fun I removed that version. Now the installer is stuck on


  Installing
  perl-5.8.7-5
  /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/abbrev.pl  [blinking]

with no effect. I have tried removing gettext from the list to install,
but it still gets included.

Hmm. It's not a strictly required package, and only useful for development, but if it keeps getting added that means some package you have installed lists it as a requirement.
