Hello everyone,
I have just installed Debian (lenny) to famliarize myself a bit with it before 6.0 is released. I am simply trying to install firefox, but aptitude is unable to find the package. I have tried changing my source.list file after looking at the sticky in the debian forum. Here my current /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20101127-18:32]/ lenny contrib main
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.7 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20101127-18:32]/ lenny contrib main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib
deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main contrib
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://www.backports.org/debian lenny-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
This is what I get when I type in apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Code:
localhost:/etc/apt# apt-get install mozilla-firefox
Reading package lists... Done

Package mozilla-firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
iceweasel
E: Package mozilla-firefox has no installation candidate
localhost:/etc/apt#
Using just firefox as as the package name gives the same result. Any hint in the right direction would be very appreciated!
