Errors When Installing EVOLUTION
Hi,
Trying to install Evolution on my PERSISTENT HOME USB key and got the following error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package evolution is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package evolution has no installation candidate
Can somebody help???
Marc.

You don't tell us which release of Knoppix you are using, but *assuming* that it is 5.1.x or 5.0.x your /etc/apt/sources.list file if unmodified will be using obsolete designations of what "stable" "testing" and "unstable" mean for Debian packages.
I recommend that you read up about packaging on http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
but anyway try invoking
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get -s install evolution
and assess whether you are happy with what the apt-get simulation tells you it will install|upgrade|remove if applicable.
If you want to proceed then
Code:
apt-get install evolution
will probably work for you.

Thanks JohnyH,
I will try that. But I think I know what the problem is!
I have to go through PROXY to get to the INTERNET...
I setup Manual PROXY in the browser (Konqueror). But when trying to do stuff like apt-get, it doesn't work. Is there soemthing I have to do to set the PROXY for the ENTIRE KNOPPIX 5.1??? If so, what do I do and where do I go??
Thanks,
Marc.

Ok,
I did the apt-get update, here's the error that came back:

1. OK, having done the apt-get update (set aside those errors for the moment), did you then try the apt-get -s install evolution ?
2. Might as well get your /etc/apt/sources.list file aligned to the current Debian mirrors set-up. You are unlikely to need the Knoppix-specific sites in the file by this time, so I suggest that you replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with the following (better to back-up your original first )(To get a mirror closer to you, replace "uk" by your country code)
Then do
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get -s install evolution
and then if it looks OK
Code:
apt-get install evolution
Good luck

Hi JohnnyH,
I did modify my souces.list. Then I did apt-get update. Here's the results:

1] Because you got this :-

2] You don't say whether you tried
Code:
apt-get -s install evolution
, but it might have worked anyway now as the are OK.
But it is best to remove the ... ftp.uni-kl.de to avoid errors.
By The Way

are not serious problems; you can still use them - you would have to tell apt-get (when prompted) to install the 'unofficial' codecs without verification
3] Do you know what is your country code ? I know that it can be difficult if English is not your 'langue maternelle' but if you look at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages you can find translations to

Ok,
I did replace everything in the sources.list by the lines that you sent me. Then I did the apt-get update, got an error. Then I tried apt-get -s install evolution.

I've never been in the situation of having to do this, but try
Code:
dpkg --configure -a
- it cannot do any harm and may reset the dpkg configuration successfully. Then try
Code:
apt-get install evolution
