Having issus with installing apps
Having issus with installing apps
Hi, I am having issues with installing programs on my desktop Debians. The only OS, I will use at the moment pn this desktop. So While trying to install owncloud, Keepass, and other apps.
I have gotten errors like
1) This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
2) Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages (Own cloud)
3) apt-get install error: Media change: please insert the disc labeled
4) has no installation candidate
Note: I have tried to fix these issues myself nothing has worked. I have Google every error and nothing on any site will fix the issue please help!

Re: Having issus with installing apps
You need to check your sources list. Here you¡ve got one that will work.
https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList
Once you fix your souces.list you need:
and then
should work

Once you fix your souces.list you need:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
Code: Select all
apt-get install "pakacge"
Re: Having issus with installing apps
As noted, we need to see your sources.list to be sure, but that's most likely because the problem isn't fixable.LinuxDude wrote:...nothing on any site will fix the issue...

Until the specific issue is resolved, you would be wise not to install any new packages.

Re: Having issus with installing apps
Sources.list is just a text file, but you'll need to do it with root permissions (is that the correct term guys?).LinuxDude wrote: hi! thanks for that post. I action ally made a stupid mistake and deleted the all of my repositorys. How do I re-add them through terminal or package manger please! ;-(
I would use your file manager to navigate to etc/apt/ <-----you'll need to click on "file system"
Then right click, and you'll probably have a choice to "open terminal here"..... do that
Then type "su", and then type in the root password. You can then create make a sources.list with your text editor. I'd use mousepad, but you can get into trouble launching a GUI program from the command line, but so far I've been ok with it. You could use the command line program called "nano", but you'll probably have to look up the commands to save and such.
You can find instructions on what to put in the sources.list in links given previously in this thread.

Yes, it isNo_windows wrote:Sources.list is just a text file, but you'll need to do it with root permissions (is that the correct term guys?).
I like to use this to edit sources.list, it will check the syntax before saving:
Code: Select all
# apt edit-sources

In fact this thread has inspired me to start a "new topic" , here:
Please learn to stop "full quoting."
It is not just this OP, and thread, there is far to many people doing this, to the extent that I see it as a major problem on the forum,...any way, that is another
topic. Apology for the interrupt here.
