Title: can't install amule-daemon
Post by: bhorgand on October 13, 2007, 11:29:03 AM

downloaded the install package for debian from here:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/amule-daemon/i386/download

the debian installer Gdebi says a dependency is missing:
amule-common

although the monolithic amule is installed and works.

I'm new to linux so sorry if it's a silly question
Thanks,
Ron

Please try this:

Code: [Select]

sudo aptitude install amule-common
sudo aptitude install amule-daemon
Replace the aptitude with apt-get if necessary.

If this still fails, follow the instruction on the top of the page and try it again (after a aptitude update or apt-get update).

I've tried that already:

Package amule-daemon is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  amule-common

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Package amule-daemon has no installation candidate

You shouldn't mix up the repos. If you want to install the debs from p.d.o, you have to download the deps from there, too. It's easier to just have the right lines in your sources.list. When you have to download manually, I guess you don't have sid running, why are you traing to install a package from sid that has the same version in stable and testing, too? And why aren't you just choosing the packages your packagemanager is offering?
