install subversion?
so i have ubuntu 8.10 with the 2.6.27 generic kernel, and i need to install subversion in order to install some other files. i tried this:
sudo apt-get install subversion and it totally denied me, saying E: Couldn't find package package subversion. i have totally gotten this to work before, installed off the same cd and everything! how to fix? thanks |
Did you apt-get update first? Is your sources.list all set?
|
okay, i did
sudo apt-get update and that seemed to do something so that it now works. so what is the sources.list file, and how do i know if it is 'set' or not? thanks! |
You can check the 'Settings' in Synaptic :
> > Settings > Archives .... and see that the four lines 'main', 'universe', 'restricted', 'multiverse' have the "check marks" ..... The settings are kept in the file /etc/apt/sources.list ..... |
