problems installing some packages

#1 Post by Guest »

Hi to all,
and thanx for last time when people on the forums answered my question.
I go on discovering Debian and I still have a new problem for some packages.
For example:
apt-get install mjpegtools
returns a message error telling that no version of mjpegtools is available and that it means that either package is missing either it's deprecated either it's only on another source.
(sorry, I cant't give you the exact message because it's in french. May be you known a way to change the default language).
I'm sure the name of the package is right. It was given by bash autocompletion
I tried with three different lines in sources.list :
deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

(and I didn't forgot to apt-get update).
and always got that message. The same problem happens sometimes with some packages.
At least, I compiled mjpegtools.

Did I miss the point somewhere ?

regards,

Harold

Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main. Then apt-get update and repeat the apt-get install. Marillat has lots of good stuff on his server. :-)
