apt-get update && apt-get install asterisk

If you have any problems with package install :
The basic repo for Backtrack 5 is "Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid" : Support ended a month ago.
This new '/etc/apt/sources.list' will do : EDIT : See post # 5.

As i recall there were warnings on the BT5 forum about NOT doing a "dist upgrade" on bt5
The apt pop up tells you to upgrade
But apparently that will kill almost all the software installed by "Offensive-Security"

and the programs will need to be rebuilt .

after this command ( apt-get install asterisk )
Im Getting error

Sorry, but no. While Backtrack 5 is in fact based on Ubuntu it has certain packages replaced by their own packages. Enabling the Ubuntu repositories will break your Backtrack installation. This is clearly described in the Backtrack FAQ

So, to the original question. Backtrack (and its successor Kali) is a special purpose distribution, aimed at experts in security and penetration testing. So it is unlikely that you will find software like Asterisk in its repositories. If you want to use Asterisk you should use a general purpose distribution instead, like Debian or Ubuntu.
