Re: apt-get package listing question

try apt-get update first before apt-get install unzip possible there is a newer version and the packing listing you have is outdated. nate On Fri, Feb 23, 2001 at 07:39:03PM -0500, Brian Nelson wrote: > I'm new to Debian, and I have a question about apt-get and why some > files are missing fro

apt-get package listing question

I'm new to Debian, and I have a question about apt-get and why some files are missing from its listing. Recently, I needed to use unzip, but it wasn't installed on my system. So I tried 'apt-get install unzip', but it said the package was listed in the database but was empty/obsolete/or whatever.
