did you do apt-get update?

Hi folks,

Tks for your advice.

Now I know why I can't install Opera on repo. This is a 64 bit box, a server. Opera is a 32bit package. I have Firefox running on this box. The only reason for installing Opera is its addon function on magnifying image text. I may turn back to install image zoom on Firefox.

Is this addon package available on repo? Please advise how to install it. TIA

Opera will not install on a 64 bit distro. If you try to install it, that is one of the error messages that comes up.

you can actually install it, I did it - just use the --force, Luke, the --force
