I have a couple of questions about apt and debian packages on my new install of the hurd. These are probably both answered a FAQ somewhere, if so feel free to point me that direction.
I have tried using apt to install a couple of packages I think are pretty basic but keep getting the message "package X has no available version, but exists in the database . . ." I assume nothing is wrong with my setup and these really aren't available. It should be noted that I don't have alpha.gnu.org in my sources list only ftp.debian.org. The reason for this is because I need to use a http proxy to get out to the net and alpha.gnu.org appears to only support ftp. Is there an alternative place to get some of these packages or do they not exist? My other question is has to do with the unmet sysvinit dependency. Sysvinit obviously isn't needed for the hurd but since the bsdutils has it as a dependency whenever I try to install something else I am annoyed with the message that it is an unmet depenedency, is there any quick and easy way around this?
