Most packages i try to install with apt-get come up as not being found, or being obsolete.
An apt-get update, completes in a worryingly low amount of time. Almost instantly, and "works" without an internet connection present.
Code:
boggyb@boggyb:~ $ sudo apt-get update
Reading Package Lists... Done
boggyb@boggyb:~ $
As an example, i tried kde-base, because that one worked with Xebian when i was still using that.
Code:
boggyb@boggyb:~ $ sudo apt-get install kde-base
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package kde-base
boggyb@boggyb:~ $
I have also tried ethereal, ethereal-base, libtool, iirc, among others.
apt-get upgrade conciders everything to be up-to-date even though i downloded the Ubuntu iso over a month ago, and have never performed one before, as i don't have a decent internet connection at home.
Xchat is currently v2.0.8, when v2.4.0ish is available at the site.
Code:
boggyb@boggyb:~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done

I have no trouble reaching the internet by other means, and there has been a couple of things which have worked with apt-get, although they escape my memory.
Thanks a bundle.
