Empty source list

#1 Post by Hog530 »

I have just recently put Debian(lenny) on an eMac, but I can't seem to do any sort of apt-ing. Even when I have some sources, yet they don't seem to work. Could someone give me some advise or at least a list to work with?? :D

If you just installed, your /etc/apt/sources.list probably points to the CD. Try this:
deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main contrib

deb ftp://security.us.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib
deb-src ftp://security.debian.org/debian-security stable/updates main contrib

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main

Alright, I got those in. I then tried to install synaptic,

Code: Select all

aptitude install synaptic
it just through this back at me. No candidate version found for synaptic

Did you run aptitude update after changing your sources.list?
