Dear Friends! I use Ubuntu Dapper Drake (on x86 pc) and wanted to install "isomaster" software package about which I read in a linux magazine. As this package was unavailable in my synaptic package manager with Ubuntu repositories, I downloaded the package from Debian website. While attempting the installation, I encountered dependency errors. I believe these errors can be overcome by adding appropriate Debian repositories to the etc/apt/sources.list file of my Ubuntu OS.
Please (1) clarify if I can have both Ubuntu repositories and debian repositories enabled at the same time ? (2) Do I need any key to access the Debian repositories ? (3) give me the exact debian package source location lines, that I need to add to my etc/sources.list file, so I can henceforth install packages from Debian repositories without any dependency errors. Following are the contents of my present /etc/apt/sources.list file (if it may be of any use in suggesting a solution to my problem): ------------- deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 6.06 _Dapper Drake_ - Release i386 (20060531.2)]/ dapper main restricted deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted # deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted # deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe # deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse # deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe # deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security universe ## ============## ## How to install Automatix on Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu ## gksudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list ## Uncomment the following lines deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main # deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main ## If you use Ubuntu or Xubuntu Dapper, add the following line to the end of the file. # deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt dapper main ## If you use Kubuntu, add the following line to the end of the file. # deb http://www.getautomatix.com/apt kubuntu main #AUTOMATIX REPOS START deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu dapper-commercial main deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse #AUTOMATIX REPOS END ----------------------- thanks, sairam
