Thanks for your response! I'm still puzzled. What's this "ghost"
package, then? The "mplayer" package seems to be another example.
If they are unavailable, then why do th

Thanks for the info! This webpage

But, why then isn't the older packag
Hi all,
I'm wondering why some packages aren't available for
the testing distribution. For example, I wanted to
install apcalc (in the math section) but learned that
it's available only for the unstable and stable
distributions, not for the testing. (I searched
at http://www.debian.org .)

Hello all,
aptitude sometimes says some package is "not a real package".
For instance:
$ aptitude show emacs-dl-wnn
Package: emacs-dl-wnn
State: not a real package
When I try to install such a package using "aptitude install",

Hello Debian users,
I'm wondering which Debian package(s) I should install for Java
plugins for opera and mozilla. Most of the documents I found on
the net talk about downloading J2RE from a Sun site. Does this
mean there aren't standard Debian packages which can replace
Sun's Java?

A person responded via email to this query of mine. A solution is
to write shell commands in ~/.gnomerc. For example, your .gnomerc
might look like
Hello all,
I'm totally at a loss. Could someone tell me how one should set
environment variables at the startup of Gnome? I'm not talking about
~/.bashrc or its friends. Since env. vars. are inherited from parents
