#1 Post by danilondr »

Hallo, i'm trying to install SVN (subversion) on debian 6 64-bit but this message appears:

"E: Unable to locate package"

What should i do to solve? Do i need to find additional repository?

paste here your /etc/apt/sources.list output
what did you type in terminal?

here is a tutorial for configuring svn
http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_subversion_websvn
and here is a package you need:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/subversion
download it for your architecture and just run it with dpkg -i package name.deb

- What's your excuse now?

Comment out the second "deb cdrom:" line from your sources, then:

Code: Select all

# apt-get update

Code: Select all

# apt-get install subversion
