Repositories missing. Sorta. [Solved]
Posted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 10:26 am
I've been setting up LMDE XFCE edition and humming along nicely (it's over in the corner and I've got a couple SSH windows open to it, even now).
Here's the issue: apt-get simply isn't finding things. sudo apt-get install wxwidgets....... unable to locate package (codeblocks installed fine)
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install xvidcap....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install gfceux....... unable to locate package (okay, so this is a game, but still... it HAS found an IGS client for crying out loud!)
sudo apt-get install gstreamer....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install ipscan....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install madwifi-tools....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install ipscan....... unable to locate package
sudo apt-get install xchat....... something about gnome-bluetooth version 2.something will break something else
You get the idea.
I'm also getting a couple version errors from time to time (I.E. "Depends on ABC-1.0.0.0 but ABC-1.0.0.1 is to be installed" or "Depends on ABC-1.0.0 but it is not going to be installed")
To fix some similar issues, such as with wine or codeblocks, I've been echoing the appropriate repositories for certain packages to my sources list and updating, but still, there seems to me something not quite complete about my list. I've also updated my sources with the new ones as suggested in the following forum discussion: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=185&t=85193 (as well as several others).
Is there a Debian repository that's oh, I dunno, Universe-esque (you'll have to forgive me if the terminology's off a bit - I'm used to Ubuntu or SuSE.) that might help me get the latest packages and install/fix some of these problems? I'm not really afraid to get my hands dirty, and the system isn't in use, nor will it be until I can get all the software we need to run on it installed (It'll be a series of network diagnostic machines, and maybe some security cam capture servers) - so I can afford to risk it going slightly unstable. Just not with the software *I* need on it. ; )
If need be, I can post my repositories list, but at this point, that's not going to yield a helpful diagnosis, as I've been kinda poking at it for the past couple hours, and it's beginning to look.... well... really bad.
