Trouble installing swiftfox on Debian Sid (amd64)
I was researching how to get flashplayer/java working in my web browser (64 bit processors have their flaws) and I stumbled upon swiftfox - a Web browser supposedly capable of doing so. I added the swiftfox repository, and tried to apt get install swiftfox and I was returned with this error:
Code:
Package swiftfox-athlon64 has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of
sources.list
So instead of worrying about this issue, I downloaded the .deb file.
Code:
dpkg -i swiftfox-athlon64.deb
Unpacking swiftfox-athlon64 (from swiftfox_3.0pre-2_athlon64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of swiftfox-athlon64:
swiftfox-athlon64 depends on ia32-libs-gtk; however:
Package ia32-libs-gtk is not installed.
I was baffled at why these packages aren't available, but I brushed it off and downloaded ia32-libs-gtk.deb from the Debian package website, and through synaptic I found all its dependencies. But yet again, my actions were thwarted as dpkg would not install swiftfox because my ia32-libs-gtk package version was 1.19 and swiftfox needed 1.22.
My sources.list looks like this:
Code:
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r3 _Etch_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20080218-14:10]/ etch contrib main
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r3 _Etch_ - Official amd64 NETINST Binary-1 20080218-14:10]/ etch contrib main

#SwiftFox

#hmmmmmmmmmmm
#deb http://www.dipconsultants.com/debian etch main
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Or even better, point me in the direction of an easier way to use flashplayer/java on an amd64 Debian system? It would be much appreciated.
