mol version mismatch in sid (MacOnLinux)
Michael D. Crawford
of Linux for PowerPC on a Macintosh.
There are two packages, mol and mol-modules. mol-modules is the source code for
the required kernel modules. mol is the userspace programs.
The version of mol in sid is 0.9.60-5. The version of mol-modules is 0.9.61-4.
The versions need to match; if I select mol then the dependency screen tells
me that mol depends on mol-modules but it is apparently unavailable.
I tried converting the RPM's from http://www.maconlinux.org/ using Alien. I was
able to get mol to install, but not the modules. I couldn't get the module
source code to build, either from the release sources, or getting them from
rsync or bitkeeper.
Is there a mol-0.9.61 deb?
I'd really love to give Mac On Linux a try.

That's strange. The mol deb I have installed is 0.9.61-4, and
apt-cache show mol shows me 0.9.61-4 as the only available version.
My last apt-get update was yesterday.

Not quite. There are three packages, mol with the userspace stuff,
mol-modules-source with the modules source code and mol-modules-2.2.19
with binary modules for 2.2.19 kernels. mol-modules used to contain
kernel modules, but is obsolete and should not even exist on any
decent mirror.

Where is that? In <URL:http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/>,
there are mol and mol-modules-source version 0.9.61-4 and
mol-modules-2.2.19 version 0.9.61-3. I've verified that these
packages work with a 2.2.19 kernel.

Indeed.

mol and mol-modules-src.
However, the dependency conflict screen says mol depends on mol-modules, and it
is not available. Note mol-modules is a different package from
mol-modules-src. I don't seem to be able to get mol to install, even though I
can download and install the source.
Can I make the mol-modules package myself from the source?

You can make (must make) mol-modules from the source installed by
mol-modules-src. So the steps are these:
apt-get mol-modules-src
read and follow the directions (in /usr/docs/mol-modules-src) for
making mol-modules.deb.
dpkg -i mod-modules.deb
then apt-get mol
