Re: Can't find ssh

[Andy Davidson]

I tried inserting the lines into /etc/apt/sources.list and then did 

sulu:/etc/apt# dselect update

which gave me:

Merging Available information

Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available.

Information about 4175 package(s) was updated.

which seems OK, but when I did

sulu:/etc/apt# apt-get install ssh

I got

Reading Package Lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

the package is simply not installable and a bug report against

that package should be filed.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:

  ssh: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.2-2) but 2.1.3-10 is to be installed

       Depends: libssl0.9.6 but it is not going to be installed

E: Sorry, broken packages

Now what?  I am very confused and a little concerned.  Is this ever going to work or am I in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike? :-)  It reads like I have to resolve the dependencies ad infinitum.  Isn't that the purpose of apt-get?.....
