I want to install kernel package by this command sudo apt-get install kernel-packagebut it gives me the error :Package kernel-package has no installation candidate
I have Ubuntu7.10 installed on my machine. I am getting some errors installing some rpm packages. I found the error message "rpm command not found".does it mean that i need to istall rpm package manager? right? I have a lot of .rpm packages to install.
and when i try "apt-get install rpm " , the following error occurs

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package rpm has no installation candidate
I write apps for webOS, and need to use the palm emulator. The emulator runs on virtualbox-3.0 to virtualbox-3.2 only (no support for virtualbox 4). After adding the virtualbox source, I still cannot install virtualbox-3.2, and am instead given the error:

Package virtualbox-3.2 is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'virtualbox-3.2' has no installation candidate I tried downloading and installing the virtualbox-3.2 package from the web site, but it does not run. The contents of /var/log/vbox-install.log are as follows:

Is there some way that I can get this package installed?
I am working on Ubuntu 7.10 and I want to install libssl-dev_0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.13_i386.deb. So tried it with apt-get command but getting the following error--
root@user-desktop:/# apt-get install libssl Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libssl is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package libssl has no installation candidate
Then I downloaded .deb file and attempt to install it with package installer but again unable to install it and getting the error-- Error: Dependency is Not Satisfiable: libssl0.9.8 In Synaptic, libssl0.9.8 is installed on my system. I tried reinstalling it and that didn't make a difference.
So I have been following the instructions over at the Community Ubuntu Documentation: How to create a live CD from scratch and ran into a slight problem:

I am using the maverick repository to create the franken-buntu. what the Maverick Meerkat's equivalent of the discover1 package is.
I have had webmin running previously but i just recently installed Unbuntu server and i am now trying to install webmin. after typing this to install webmin sudo apt-get install webmin it started doing its thing and then it halts.
Giving me the following message: "Package webmin is not available, but is referred to by another package. this may mean that the package is missing, had been obsoleted , or is only available from another source."
The first thing i did after installing webmin was edit the sources.list
Then i tpyed sudo nano sources.list I uncommented everything with "deb" in front of it
I also uncommented
deb cdrom:
I then typed this sudo wget [url]
After getting that i typed this apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

I have the latest RPM's but bank is saying the User Name and Password they issued me is hitting their server, but I get a screen coming back saying it can't find any suitable accounts at my bank to map to. Is 3.98.1-1 just a release candidate or is there an actual bug in the OFX package?
I am following this guide to installing eclipse via terminal command-line on Linux. However, this seems to be happening lately with all the packages I try to install..I checked the Synaptic Package Manager and reloaded and rebooted the computer, but to no avail.
I have a problem when installing this package through synaptic package manager. this is :
libpng12-dev the error is: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...tu2.1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.167 80] my distribution is ubuntu 10.4.
I just finished installing a dual boot XP/Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for desktop about half an hour ago, and it's my first experience with a Linux OS. Now that my *complete idiot noob* flag is flying, I have an error I think I need to report:An error occurs with the Package Manager, I get this message when I try to run it, and when Ubuntu boots:
E: Encountered a Package with no Package: header E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ us.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_restricte d_binary-i386_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies I tried to download and install Chrome, and it came up with a similar error.
Is my install corrupt/incomplete or something? My setup is a P4 2.4Ghz, 512Mb RAM, onboard graphics, wireless internet and the HDD is 40GB, split into 2 partitions, and my Ubuntu Partition is 10 GB. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS distribution, and the other OS is Windows XP Professional SP3.I installed Ubuntu by using the Wubi installer.
Is it possible to get a package via yum that has the kernel sources? In the "Add/Remove Software" GUI program, I have enabled the "Fedora source" s/w repository. Even then, the only kernel package I can find is the "The Linux Kernel", linux-2.6.27.15-170... which essentially provides only the kernel binaries and headers but not the source.
Is there anyway to show package size that comes up in the search so you don't have to apt-get install package individually and wait for the installation initiation and then reject to install after it gives u the [y/N] confirmation thing?
I've been trying to install Ubuntu Server on an old server since a couple of days and have been unsuccessful. I've google'd a bit but found no solid solution yet to this problem. Everything goes fine and I'm able to partition my SCSI drives and everything. After the installation starts unpacking and copying files this happens. I have to mention that I'm installing from a USB drive with the following added at the end of the normal install options:
Code:
--install cdrom-detect/try-usb=true Version I'm trying to install: Ubuntu 9.10 i386 Server CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ RAM: DDR 2*256MB MOBO: ECS K7VTA3 VIA KT266A socket A DDR
I am an extremely new Ubuntu Server user. I am trying to install NFS on a new Ubuntu Server 10.10 installation. When running the command sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap, I was previously getting the message:
E: unable to locate package nfs-kernel-server
I'm sure I don't have the correct sources for installation, I just don't know source I need to add.
I've compiled the last stable ubuntu kernel (2.6.38-...) following this guide: How to compile a Ubuntu 10.10 kernel but in this guide doesn't explain how create linux-libc-dev package for that kernel? How do I do?
I've tried with fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch-headers but it returns an, IMHO, absurd error:

If you've been installing kernel-headers along with the kernels (say to build modules for graphics or wireless), you should remove those when you remove the corresponding kernel. The command to search for those is parallel:
Code:
I would have thought that removing a given kernel package would trigger the removal of the older kernel headers. Can someone confirm that is, or is not, the behavior? I ask this because it seemed to me that the older kernel header packages were indeed removed when I removed some older kernel packages.
For example, the linux kernels I have installed are:
Code:
Also, the linux-headers packages I have installed are:
Code:
So, when I get around to removing the linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 package like this:
Code:
I would expect apt-get to automatically also remove linux-headers-2.6.25-2-amd64 and linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common. Is that what will happen, or do I need to explicitly state all three packages on the apt-get remove command?
I'm trying to execute the following command: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` mercurial build-essential cvs subversion libncurses5-dev
I get the following error:Package libncurses5-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package libncurses5-dev has no installation candidate
Fedora 14 I recently went to install some software using the source files. When I ran the command ./configure I got a message saying that No package gthread-2.0 not found After searching the internet some one had the same problem. I needed to install a package called glib2-devel However, rather that searching the internet. Is there any yum command that can give me that information?
I installed ubuntu on my laptop recently and would like to have trim support. (Because I have a ssd drive (crucial c-300 256gb). The current kernel that I am using is the 2.6.32 (standard lucid kernel I believe). Unfortunately TRIM support is only available from 2.6.33 and up. So I thought I'd install a new kernel using this howto:
I need to install the following dependencies for synspam on Ubuntu 9.10 karmic server:
Code: sudo aptitude install nfqueue-bindings-perl libsys-syslog-perl libappconfig-perl libnetpacket-perl libnetaddr-ip-perl dpkg -i synspam_version_all.deb Of these, only libnetpacket-perl is not packaged for Ubuntu 9.10 karmic.
Is this functionality present in another 9.10 package with a different name? 10.04 Lucid does have the package: [URL]
Still I am asked to package a war file as an RPM package. That is an unusual RPM packaging(To me). If you guys could guide me I have a war file inside a folder, that folder is inside a tar file as a SOURCE for RPM package. The structure is like below.
[Code]...
I simply want that the war file from sources is transferred to the web app of my tomcat server through RPM. I try to package it as an RPM, but its always giving me errors in %build stage. When I try to remove %build from stage from the spec file, then it says command missing.
My system details are: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64) VERSION = 10 PATCHLEVEL = 1 LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.0-x86_64"
when I try to install a package, I've the message The following packages have unmet dependencies:package-xy: Depends:lib-something (>= version_number) which is a virtual package.
