Hello, I am trying to get "must-have" apps working on a fresh debian amd64 system install (Lennart Sorensen's 7/26/5 sarge-amd64-2.6.12-netinst.iso).
I am using the following lines in my sources.list: deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ stable main contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main (Off-topic aside: http://mirror.tamu.edu/debian-amd64/ the mirror closest to me, seems unavailable.) apt-get update yields: duop:/home/don# apt-get update Hit http://debian.csail.mit.edu stable/main Packages Hit http://debian.csail.mit.edu stable/main Release Hit http://debian.csail.mit.edu stable/contrib Packages Hit http://debian.csail.mit.edu stable/contrib Release Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Packages Hit http://security.debian.org stable/updates/main Release Reading Package Lists... Done I try to grab emacs: duop:/home/don# apt-get install emacs Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package emacs 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 emacs has no installation candidate duop:/home/don# Is emacs available on this platform? If so, what am I missing? Thanks, Don -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
