Apt-get cannot install BitTorrent :-(

Don't know why this isnt' working....

dpkg -l | grep python says:
ii python 2.3.2-1 An interactive high-level object-oriented la
ii python-imaging 1.1.4-2 The Python Imaging Library
ii python-tk 2.3.2-1 Tkinter - Writing Tk applications with Pytho
ii python2.3 2.3.2-1 An interactive high-level object-oriented la
ii python2.3-imag 1.1.4-1 The Python Imaging Library
ii python2.3-tk 2.3.2-1 Tkinter - Writing Tk applications with Pytho

And BitTorrent says it requires python of version 2.2 or greater OR python2.2 (which I would think to be the same thing). So I've got what I need, but apt-get won't install it:

root@Harkonnen:~# apt-get -uVq install bittorrent

Starting with Knopppix 3.3 it seems Bittorrent comes from sid.

apt-get install -t unstable bittorrent

Did the trick here and for others on irc ;)

OK, this command worked, but I bash says "command not found" when I try "bittorrent". I also tried "bittorrent.py" and I cannot figure out how to call and execute bittorrent!

' dpkg -L bittorrent|grep bin ' is how I found it.
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/bttrack
/usr/bin/btmakemetafile
/usr/bin/btlaunchmany
/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses
/usr/bin/btlaunchmanycurses
/usr/bin/btreannounce
/usr/bin/btrename
/usr/bin/btshowmetainfo
/usr/bin/btdownloadgui
/usr/bin/btdownloadheadless

--Use one of btdownload{curses,gui,headless}. Here's an example script (don't forget to chmod +x it) : #BEGIN btor

Code:

---

#!/bin/bash

# BitTorrent download
time btdownloadcurses --url $* \
  --max_uploads 2 \
  --max_upload_rate 64 \
  --rerequest_interval 240 \
  --display_interval 3

---

--When you're done letting others upload from your file, hit Ctrl-C.
