I'm new to Debian, and I have a question about apt-get and why some files are missing from its listing.
Recently, I needed to use unzip, but it wasn't installed on my system. So I tried 'apt-get install unzip', but it said the package was listed in the database but was empty/obsolete/or whatever. Confused, I tried 'apt-get install zip' and that worked fine. So I went to the package search engine on debian.org and searched for unzip. It found copies in every distro (stable, testing, unstable). So I downloaded the deb and installed it. But, why wouldn't it show up with apt-get? I had done 'apt-get update', and had a couple different listings pointing to testing in sources.list. Thanks, Brian
