Hi, im a linux newbie.  
I have

 deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule
 deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing wx

in my /etc/apt/sources.list  , and i did "apt-get update".
But, when i do "apt-get install amule", i cant find the package!!

And when i do "apt-cache search amule" this is what i get:

Code: [Select]

nethack - Overhead dungeon-crawler game (dummy package)
nethack-console - Text-based overhead view D&D-style adventure game
nethack-el - Emacs major-mode for playing NetHack
nethack-gnome - Text-based/Gnome overhead view D&D-style adventure game
nethack-lisp - Text-based overhead view D&D-style adventure game
nethack-qt - Text-based/Qt overhead view D&D-style adventure game
nethack-x11 - Text-based/X11 overhead view D&D-style adventure game
slashem - A variant of Nethack
slashem-gtk - A variant of Nethack (Gtk window port)
slashem-sdl - A variant of Nethack (SDL window port)
slashem-x11 - A variant of Nethack (X11 window port)
Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks!!

1. Try using aptitude or wajig
2. Make sure to have run aptitude/wajig udate (do it again in just in case a site was down when you did it last) and make sure the package source site has been "hit". It should look like this:
Hit http://www.vollstreckernet.de testing/amule Packages
Hit http://www.vollstreckernet.de testing/amule Release
3. BTW, my sources.list is slightly different:
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule wx
deb-src http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule
Note the deb-src in the 2nd source.

Here's what I get when I search using aptitude:
jdkaye@Attila:/tmp$ aptitude search amule
c   amule                           - aNOTHER eMule P2P Client
c   amule-utils                     - utilities for amule
jdkaye@Attila:/tmp$ aptitude show amule

Hope this helps,

I just noticed from your Subject that you're using Sid? Is that correct? Then you don't want "testing" in your sources.list . You need to replace "testing" with "unstable". I'm not sure if Vollstrecker has "unstable packages". If not, then we go to plan B.
BTW, are all your other sources given as "testing" or as "unstable" (or "sid")?
Can you post the result of doing: $uname -a
Cheers,
Attila

but if vollstrecker only provides testing pkg, then this works aswell,
you can have all testing, unstable or even stable in your sources list,
apt-get will always install the once with the highest version nr it can find...

Hi Stef,
One question: I use Sarge/testing and I have some unstable things in my sources.list but I have to do pinning to get them as in aptitude -t unstable install xyz. I never had a reason to use Woody (stable) versions but if I did, wouldn't I need to so something like aptitude -t stable xyz?
I have a preferences file as well. Wouldn't the OP need to have a preferences file and do some pinning? Anyway, I guess we'll see if he sorts out his problem.
Cheers,
Jonathan

[stefanero]

there are preferences files, to set priorities for some branches like testing or sid,
and if you want to "overrule" your prefs then you need

apt-get -t unstable pkg_name

this is for example usefull, if you have a testing system, and want some pkg from unstable, but not all of them.
this way you can have both in your sources.list...without having to worry about what happens when you do "apt-get dist-upgrade"

but if you dont have those preferences files(default) then you will always get the highest vers numbers from the packages, which are most often in sid. and a apt-get dist-upgrade, will always end up in unstable...

so it depends on your setup

Hey. I'm running Sarge and apt-get isn't finding amule.

My sources list reads:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing amule
deb http://www.vollstreckernet.de/debian/ testing wx

Aptitidue got a hit on all of 'em.

Search with aptitude ('/', right?) turned up nada.

Also tried "apt-get -t unstable install amule" but apt-get couldn't get an exclusive on some files; and, anyway, testing should be available...

Ideas?

thanks in advance.
