Installing yahoo messenger?
How?
I followed directions from site and I get this error message:
E: Couldn't find package ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386
This is where I'm at and what I'm doing:
root@Knoppix:/home/Ryan# apt-get install ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ymessenger_1.0.4_1_i386
Anything else to try?

Thank you. That helps to know about klik.

Have you tried using gaim? You may have heard that yahoo is blocking third party messenger programs, however, by installing the latest version of gaim, you should be good to go.

And just fyi, when you install a package with apt-get you don't put the whole name of the deb file...you just put generally whatever comes before the first '_' ...so in this case it would be apt-get install ymessenger.
That's just for future reference...it won't work in this case, since ymessenger isn't in the apt repositories.

This in your /etc/apt/sources.list would get you ymessenger-1.0.4_1
deb http://kambing.vlsm.org/DLL/debian-local stable lokal
At least according to this it would have installed:
root@mrk-fujibox:/etc/apt# apt-cache search ymessenger
ymessenger - Yahoo! Messenger Client
root@mrk-fujibox:/etc/apt# apt-cache policy ymessenger
ymessenger:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.0.4_1
Version Table:
1.0.4_1 0
500 http://kambing.vlsm.org stable/lokal Packages
root@mrk-fujibox:/etc/apt# apt-get -s install ymessenger
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libssl0.9.6
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libssl0.9.6 ymessenger
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 130 not upgraded.
Inst libssl0.9.6 (0.9.6l-3 Debian:unstable)
Inst ymessenger (1.0.4_1 kambing.vlsm.org)
Conf libssl0.9.6 (0.9.6l-3 Debian:unstable)
Conf ymessenger (1.0.4_1 kambing.vlsm.org)
EDIT: Forgot, you can search for packages/repositories at http://www.apt-get.org/
