Debian packages

siawash · 02-20-2009, 10:23 AM

I am migrating from Slackware to Debian 4.0r5 and notice I cannot find a package repository like slacky.eu. Synaptic cannot find package I want like kaffiene, realplayer, flash player.

I realize these are available from third party sites and can then do a manual install but also weary that the native pack manager wont support third party packages...

Can anyone throw light on this...? Shall i go ahead and install from third part sites or is there a Debian repository with required packages?

please post your /etc/apt/sources.list
if m memor is correct there is a thread with sourcelists

http://www.debian-multimedia.org is what you want. You should probably install Lenny rather than Etch as well. Look for the sticky sources.list thread. Or look at the link in my signature if you need other repos.
