Now, with ftp.debian.org, (and ftp.us.debian.org), same errors. Do I have the correct sources.list to install KDE? Is this just a matter of waiting for the repositories to come back in sync or am I missing something here. If just waiting, any idea of when things should be installable? Any ideas?The issue here from my own experience is that the packages that it states are probably not in the stable group what you need to do is add the same mirrors but with the unstable add instead of the stable for example: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ unstable main is the one i use but am running sarge (ustable/testing)
I always understoon sid = unstable But I tried; I changed all my sources.list "sid" to unstable Same results (going on 4+ days now) R.Parr, RHCE Temporal Arts -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
