kubuntu 6.06 64-bit dapper: adept question(s)
Hello folks,
Here I sit and wonder why the packages-database appears to be damaged after I manually added a repository. Here' s what I did: 1 clicked 'view/manage repositories' ; in the lower end of the next window is space to enter a url; 2 entered the url of the desired repository: http://packages.ubuntu.com ; 3 clicked 'add', clicked 'apply'; clicked 'close' 4 closed the program 5 started adept again and got the message that the database was damaged, I should try apt-setup or something. Because I was not able to repair the packages-database because apt was not yet installed, I decided to install kubuntu again. Then I started adept and repeated steps 1 to 4, with one difference: in step 2 added /dapper/ to the url. The same difficulties with the packages-database occured... The online adept-handbook does not give any details about manually adding a new repository, but only how to activate the listed ones. A month ago I installed the 32-bit version of dapper and I was able to manually add a repository. Did more people run into this difficulty, or did I do something wrong? :confused: |
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is NOT a repository http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu IS that bay be the problem
also "Because I was not able to repair the packages-database because apt was not yet installed" What do you mean apt was not installed?? that can't be right. |

and just fill in the instructions, it should provide you with all the sources that you will ever need - in an architecture specific "styley". You get the list it produces and then do (in a terminal/konsole window) Code:
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old Then, presuming that you downloaded the sources.list that the source-o-matic produced to your desktop, you'd then do Code:
sudo cp /home/Sjonnie48/Desktop/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list Code:
sudo apt-get update regards John |
