Hi,
Thank you so much for your response!! I tried searching the system for the sysstat and the isag packages using apt-cache, however, apt-cache could not locate them. The command says: debian:~# apt-cache showpkg sysstat W: Unable to locate package sysstat Is there some place where I can find/download these packages from? Also, on Debian, does the 'top' utility get installed with the base installation? Thanks!! |
According to debian.org sysstat is in all three (stable,testing,unstable) repositories. Show your /etc/apt/sources.list.
|
Did you mean that I post my /etc/apt/sources.list file.
If that's the case then here it goes: cat /etc/apt/sources.list #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20021218)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main # deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 r1 _Woody_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20021218)]/ unstable contrib main non-US/contrib non-US/main Please provide some insight !!! |
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list (either by hand or through apt-setup) and add an http source.
Code:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main non-free contrib |
don't follow comp's post. that will add Sid as a package source. you want woody sources. do this
Code:
su -c "nedit /etc/apt/sources.list" i also suggest uncommenting the debian security source (remove the # from that line). then do this to download and install your software. Code:
su -c "apt-get update ; apt-get install sysstat" you may want to update your system with the latest packages (note that this isn't necessary...it will require a lot of downloading...so don't do it if u don't have broadband) Code:
su -c "apt-get dist-upgrade" |
