Hi, this isn't an official Ubuntu website, only the link to the Ubuntu package search is a link to an official Ubuntu website. First of all $ apt-get install foo can not work, because an install requires root privileges, IOW it must be $ sudo apt-get install foo in addition, you need to ensure that the package index is synced, so first you need to run $ sudo apt-get update it could be that you also need to upgrade your install, assumed the software you want to install depends on a dedicated version of something that is already installed, but outdated. At minimum you need to run $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get subversion libapache2-svn Perhaps an upgrade is required, then you need to run $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get subversion libapache2-svn The appropriate mailing list for such a request isn't this list, it's https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users More information on how to use apt is provided by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto Regards, Ralf -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
