i've searched the list archives for a solution to this, but haven't come across one that works yet...
i'm running x86 woody. since the end of last week, i no longer get any upgrades with 'apt-get upgrade' (although 'update' runs without error). furthermore, when i try to install a package with apt-get, i get the following: danube:/home/ian# apt-get install tuxracer Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package tuxracer has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package tuxracer has no installation candidate i had this happen with a bunch of other packages as well (tcl8.3, tk8.3 for example). i can see the packages on the ftp site, and download them manually and install them with dpkg, but apt-get seems wedged. i've tried 'apt-get clean', 'dpkg --forget-old-avail', dumping a new available file, but nothing seems to cure this. what should i do? ian -- ---- Ian Soboroff [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of MD Baltimore County http://www.cs.umbc.edu/~ian
