You need to search snapshots for the packages above, e.g.: http://snapshot.debian.org/package/hunspell/1.4.1-2/#libhunspell-1.4-0_1.4.1-2:2b:b2 Then right-click the path next to the sparc64 package and paste it into your sources.list: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-ports/20161011T063855Z/ unstable main Note: You have to strip off "pool-sparc64/main/h/hunspell/" and add " unstable main" to the URL above. Then run apt-get update as: # apt-get -o Acquire::Check-Valid-Until=false update To disable the signature verification. I recommend reading the documentation for snapshots on the website to understand the underlying issue and how to use it properly. It's a bit confusing if you do it the first time. Sometimes you need to specify the exact versions of the packages you want to install, e.g. for the package "xbill": # apt install xbill=1.2.3-1 You can see the available with: # apt-cache policy xbill > B) Iceweasel doesn't install Iceweasel doesn't exist anymore. > C) Clicking the web browser (bottom left of screen) within lxde desktop > generates the following error popup. > > "Invalid desktop entry file: > '/usr/share/applications/lxde-x-www-browser.desktop'" That's because you have no package installed which provides lxde-x-www-browser.
