hi tony

when running apt* the application checks /etc/apt/sources.list

this file contains software repositories from which apt will pull down
packages.  off the shelf the configuration only points to repositories
containing software which complies to the various debian licenses.

so when apt makes a call to these for a package which does not comply to
these licenses it doesn't find it (hence the 404).

to resolve the issue all you  need to do is add additional repositories to
the sources.list file.  for example to install sun java (instead of gnu
java) i added the lines:

# Debian Unofficial
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free

obviously replace squeeze with your distribution.

then issue the command

app-cache search java6

which searches all repositories for the package and lists them (these can
be a partial name) and

apt-get install sun-java-jdk

not sure about typo3 they might have their own repository (i'm sure it's on
their website somewhere) but it's worth trying the above first

cheers

I run my system under debian Linux, and php and mysql are installed.
Typo3 is available via apt, but there are 404 issues (probably
temporary) trying to install it. I reckon there is a major issue with
the databases apt uses, as even apt-get update fails with loads of 404
errors. IP 83.142.228.128 (one of many 404s) is moved or down.

If Quanta decide to go for a fixed site, and there seems to be no reason
why not if only one person is updating it, then my server can support
the Quanta site right now.

Tony
