apt-get not working in 3.4 10-05-2004
I try do install an app in 3.4 but even though I do a apt-get update ( that seems to go ok) after I try to install quanta I get "no install candidate" and that goes with every package I try do install.
That happens both in debian like install and knoppix multiuser install
What can I do?
Thank you

Well that seems strange. What if you do
Code:
apt-cache search quanta
It *should* say something like:
kde - The K Desktop Environment
kfilereplace - batch search-and-replace component for KDE
kimagemapeditor - KDE-based HTML image map editor
lg-issue56 - Issue 56 of the Linux Gazette.
quanta - web development environment for KDE

sources?
just checked on that and it worked.
happy guessing...:
The package came from testing; does "apt-get update" produce any errors while checking "testing" ?
I am using a newly installed machine from KNOPPIX_V3.4-2004-05-04-EN.iso

What's in your sources.list file?

Does anyone have a clue?????

Well first you would have to do THEN try to install a package.

I did try to do a apt-get update - several times. For a work-related function I have to have two screens so I've had to revert to 2004-5-4 and so I'm unable to show you the contents of sources.list.
Somewhere else on the forum tonight I read that the sources are mis-linked in 2004-5-10 which might explain the problem??

hmm did you try to use aptitude (dunno how its spelled right now... i always spell it the wrong way).
it will show you which packages in which version you are able to install and pointing for dependency problems.
it may be that the version you are trying to install is not within the package list for some reason.

Hi guys,
I don't think the problem is/was with the version I was trying to d'load. The differences between 3.4-2004-05-04 and 05-10 are supposedly minor and related to scsi devices and I believe the clock function (could be wrong).
I initially installed 2004-05-04 and the whole nvidia install process worked great. I loaded 2004-10 and I have the problem described. I re-load 05-04 and I can get the nvidia package again. Something was damaged in the generation of the 05-10 release. I was using exactly the same instructions to install nvidia in both versions.
I'm fairly new to Linux and have never heard of aptitude so no, I never tried to run it.
Jim
