Hi Torsten, Thanks for your valuable help. In fact, there are several packages that returns no information about them. The example you mentioned, also works for me. The same behavior happens with i386 and amd64 packages.
Since the first package is 'geos', which fails, all my tests failed, and I thought it was a problem related with the localization. But please confirm that you are able to read information about some of the following packages: $ apt-cache policy geos N: Não foi possível encontrar o pacote geos $ apt-cache policy gdal N: Não foi possível encontrar o pacote gdal $ apt-cache policy mapserver N: Não foi possível encontrar o pacote mapserver $ apt-cache policy libgdal-ecw N: Não foi possível encontrar o pacote libgdal-ecw Packages that are listed, without problem: $ apt-cache policy postgis postgis: Instalado: (nenhum) Candidato: 1.5.2-2~maverick1 Tabela de Versão: 1.5.2-2~maverick1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages 1.5.1-5 0 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages $ apt-cache policy osgearth osgearth: Instalado: (nenhum) Candidato: 1.4.1-2~maverick1 Tabela de Versão: 1.4.1-2~maverick1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages I'll be around, trying to find out what is going wrong with (some) these packages. -- apt-get ignores some repositories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669493 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
