Musescore 2.0 is available but only for Sid, I have just installed Jessie since I wanted the stable version. I was wondering if it was possible to install that packaged only from the sid distribution on jessie. How should I proceed?

I was using Lenny until now, and I liked it very much. Now I've seen that squeeze is finally released, so I decided to make a fresh install of squeeze, as I made some mistakes while installing lenny, like downloading kde meta-package (full of useless programs), small root partition etc...Now, I want to install Squeeze with KDE, but not the meta-package, just the required programs in order to run the GUI, and then I want to select which programs to install by myself... How can I do that?

I'm trying to install sid but debootstrap if failing due to bug #581420. I understand the fix is simple but how can I bypass/patch the broken util-linux package that gets downloaded at install time? I'm using the daily d-i business card CD.

I've just installed debian to a thumb drive on a system with no hard drives. I did not install any hard drive to avoid confusion. The installation went well, I rebooted the system several times with no issues until I decided to install the hard drive (SATA drive). After I installed the hard drive the system failed to boot showing something like:
Code:
Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
Booting the kernel.
Loading, please wait...
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /root failed: No such device
(continues for other partitions and mount points)
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
No init found. Try passing init=bootarg
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 1:1.10.2-2) built-in shell (ash)
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs) [9.670347] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through [9.673805] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
(some insignificant text was not copied :P)
I am guessing that the new disk is somehow confusing debian regarding where to look for system files or the address where the devices are located because if I remove the data cable from the hard drive the system reboots correctly (no hard drive though). Hotpluging the drive works but once I reboot it happens again.

I have a download cap therefore when I install Debian, I like to have a backup of all downloaded .deb files that I can install from rather than download all over again. From what I've read, it should be a simple case of copying the .deb files to /var/cache/apt/archives and then install using apt-get. But apt-get seems to 'ignore' them. Am I supposed to do something to get apt to use them? Bearing in mind, I need to do this from a console as there will be no DE.

I am currently running a Debian 4.0 (etch) PC and I can't upgrade to a newer distribution for legacy software reasons.
It is currently running on Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 and I would like to upgrade it to Kernel 2.6.22-3-686 (whilst keeping my current Debian 4.0 Etch installation). Does anyone know how this could be possible?
Prefereably I would like to instal Kernel 2.6.22-3-686 along side my current Kernel 2.6.18-4-686 with the option to specify which kernel to use when booting.

When I try to add software sources (specifically those for Scratchbox, but I get the same error with everything), I get an error message: "http://http not found". Obviously that is not a valid APT line and I have no idea what it is doing in my software sources. How do I take it out?

New install from downloaded DVD. sound played after install. Installed rhymbox, which tried to install the various nonfree packages. I didn't have the keys installed so it failed miserably. From various websites I've used yum to install nonfree packages to support mp3. I now have both movieplayer and rhymbox which have no sound. Even more strangely, rhymbox 'slider' which follows the playtime remaining, simply doesn't move? Tried remove/re-install rhymbox to no avail.

Desperation has set in and hence you get to view a thread with this title. I think the title explains it all. Or, what can be done when packages are no longer available through the repository but installing them from RMP is boarder line crazy.

My friend a longtime user of linux told me that it's a non-free software and is no longer supported by debian. I was wondering if this is true .....and would there be other options or instructions on where and how to install this package?

Just wonder is it possible to install non .deb package through the standard procedure of make config etc in Debian, or better not even attempt it.I need to use several engineering, mathematics packages, Matlab, Maple and Ansys,I have been told to use Fedora, but I would prefer to use Debian, as all my computers run on Debian and its stability etc is well known, not to mention the nice people in the forum, Bugs, Evil etc, well known icons.

I know that what I am asking is possible. It is a big reason why Unix was/is so successful. I am so new at this that I am not sure how to set it up. What I know to do is to log into each user one at a time and download a package into the users home directory. With seven users, that creates seven downloads of the same package. That is a huge waste of space. How do I download a package once and allow all seven users to run the same package?

I'm trying to install a package the depends on libgfortran1. libgfortran2 and libgfortran3 are installed on the system, but that doesn't satisfy the dependency. Here's the error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base-core: Depends: libgfortran1 (>= 4.1.1-12) but it is not installable Recommends: r-recommended but it is not going to be installed Recommends: r-base-dev but it is not going to be installed is there a way around this problem, (eg; editing a dependency list to libgfortran3)? Or is this version of r-base-core effectively broken?

I am new to Debian but a long term user of various other Linux distros, most commonly Ubuntu at home and Xubuntu for my old work computer. I tried Debian 6 LXDE the other day on the older PC, from a live LXF disc. It picked up all my hardware automatically and was so stable (more so than the Xubuntu LXDE distro on the HD) that I decided to install it.
Now that it is on the HD it is still very stable, but I am struggling with package management and installing "stuff".
I am fairly comfortable with the CLI and have managed to get myself into the sudoers group, install grub and add the old Xubuntu to grub manually (I was not impressed that Debian didn't pick up the other two distros on the machine, even after a grub install and update grub and all the other tricks I could think of).
Anyway, back to package mngt:
First, why is there no pdf viewer/reader by default? How do you start building if you can't read the many helpful articles in pdf?
But more annoying, when I try to install pdfedit, epdfview, evince, okular, pdf-viewer, osso-pdf-viewer or kpdf (at least one of which MUST work in Debian LXDE) using "apt-get install" or "aptitude install", as root or as sudo in the Terminal, why do I get "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched" "Couldn't find package" or "Unable to locate package"? I can't even install synaptic to help!
Then I found that my sources.lst only listed the install CD as a repository (how stupid is that?) so added some repositories to it (eg deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free) and did a sudo apt-get update. And apt STILL can't find anything.
And what is that Debian Installer in the >Menu>System Tools? It asks for a password then nothing opens that I can detect. Is there a GUI for package mngt?
