Hi,

I have an LinkSys NSLU2 and I patched it to OpenDebianSlug (Debian ARM, big endian) from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/OpenDebianSlug

How do I install amule for this platform? I tried several deb sources and then apt-get update and apt-get install amule
but it keeps saying "can't find package".

Can someone help me?

greetings Jan

Standard debian sources are for arm little endian only.
You could download amule and wxbase ipk's from
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/deb/amulefeed
unpack them with ar and tar, and manually copy each file to the right place.
I think it should work.
Don't forget to run ldconfig.
Or perhaps apt-get will recognize the ipk format, cause is very similar to deb.

It seems you are lucky

root@debian:/home/pal# dpkg -i ./amule_2.1.1_armeb.ipk
dpkg: error processing ./amule_2.1.1_armeb.ipk (--install):
 package architecture (armeb) does not match system (i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ./amule_2.1.1_armeb.ipk

This was done in my PC. dpkg obviously won't install the package because of non matching arquitectures, but seems that it can recognize the format. So you could add http://www.telefonica.net/web2/deb/amulefeed to your sources.list or download and install the packages manually.

What do I have to exactly insert in my /etc/apt/sources.list ? Because inserting
deb http://www.telefonica.net/web2/deb/amulefeed

and then I'll do apt-get install amule
complains about a malformed line!

I then manually downloaded and did the following:

What do I have to do? Hope you can help me...

It seems that OpenDebianSlug is based on stable while OpenSlug is based on testing
libstdc6++ is included in debian stable, but for some reason it is not in OpenDebianSlug. This is the main problem, and you'll not be able  to install libstdc++6  from openslug cause it depends on libc6 >=2.3.5 and OpenDebianSlug libc6 version is 2.3.2.
Anyway, I think that running Debian BE is pointless now that you can install real LE Debian and those beautiful packages built by thedude.
I will move to LE Debian after the release of amule 2.1.2 next weekend

Uhm, not sure I follow here, but we are talking about ARM boxes, aren't we? I only provide i386 packages since that's the only hardware I own. ^^

Ooops :]
Well, janoonk could always install the packages from testing or unstable.
