Problems with apt-get
 

Hey.

As I told in a previous post, my installation was kinda chopped, when it refused to use anything else than PPP to install packages. I've managed to get my nic up-and-running now, and I get ping-replys from the net. However, when I do a apt-get install xfce (or anything else for that matter) it turns up this error-message:
"reading package list.....done
Building pedendency tree...done
E: Couldn't find package xfce"

Any ideas how to fix this? :)

Will give you the list of packages that have xfce in their package name
=>

This message just means that package 'xfce' (or what else your typed "for that matter") was not found in any repository you declared in /etc/apt/sources.list

Did you first run "apt-get update" to refresh the package list ?

zeitounator: Thanks alot. Found out there was a # infront of all the sources. removed it,and now it works like a charm :)

you must run apt-get update before you install software with apt-get install ,download the package info from set,
