[SOLVED] xfce screensaver not found

#1 Post by shogun1234 »

When installing xfce screensaver $ apt-cache search xfce | grep screensaver, I find my debian doesn't find anything in repos.

Searching packages looks like it's there https://packages.debian.org/sid/xfce4-screensaver

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/debian_version 
bullseye/sid
Any reason that apt-cache can't find it?

When did you make last update (of available packages by something like apt-get update)?

I have just done update again, but the problem still persist.

Code: Select all

$ sudo apt-get update; 
Hit:1 http://repo.steampowered.com/steam precise InRelease
Hit:2 http://security.debian.org testing-security InRelease                              
Hit:3 https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial InRelease                            
Hit:4 https://repo.skype.com/deb stable InRelease                                        
Get:5 https://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian testing InRelease [109 kB]       
Fetched 109 kB in 3s (35.2 kB/s)                    
Reading package lists... Done
$ apt-cache search xfce | grep screensave
Maybe I should use sid instead of testing in source.list?

Code: Select all

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org testing-security main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org testing-security main contrib non-free

Of course, as you can see, packages.debian.org: xfce4-screensaver is currently only in sid (unstable), not in bullseye (testing).

Ya'll got bigger problems than that anyway. Two different releases of Ubuntu crap mixed in with Testing. OOF
