Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package xine

I dont know what to do.. that this apt-get system will workin fine..

please help me
Goodbye and thankyou

I had the same problem, run "apt-get update" first and it should work. I think that's it...that's what I did.....if it doesn't work, don't get mad...I'm a Linux n00b. ;)

I think that the instructions say (somewhere) to run 'apt-get update' twice. I'd also suggest running 'apt-get install synaptic' It's a very nice gui frontend to apt-get and makes finding available packages much easier.

i dont have GUI ... i need apt-get to work fine

Run this command:

apt-get update && apt-get update && apt-get install synaptic

You will find that most software is not available via apt on distros other than Debian.
