I am having the same issue with a Kubuntu 8.10
To reply to Chris Coulson :
1. actions taken :
activating the medibuntu tree :
wget -q http://fr.packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo
apt-key add -
sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/intrepid.list -O
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
open adept (or synaptic)
reload the package list
search for a "non standard package" that is only in the medibuntu repository
(e.g.: skype) (see attached screenshot)
2. behaviour expected :
adept (or synaptic) should show me the package so I can select it to install
it
3. the behaviour encountered :
it does not show me the package
the thing is if I do for example :
$ apt-cache search skype
skytools - Skype database tools - Python parts
skype - A VoIP software - Medibuntu package
skype-common - A VoIP software - common files - Medibuntu package
skype-static - A VoIP software - static variant - Medibuntu package
skype-static-oss - A VoIP software - static-oss variant - Medibuntu package
$ ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
medibuntu.list
This tells me that the medibuntu repository is there and active !
