Specifically, why can't apt see the testing or unstable versions of installwatch? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kitty:~# apt-get install checkinstall Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: checkinstall: Depends: installwatch (> 0.6) but 0.5.5-4 is to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages kitty:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list #stable deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US woody/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ woody/updates main contrib non-free #testing deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free #unstable deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free kitty:~# lynx --dump 'http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&keywords=installwatch' Debian package search results _________________________________________________________________ Release Package (size) stable [1]installwatch 0.5.5-4 (9.8k) Track installation of local software testing [2]installwatch 0.6.3-1 (11.8k) Track installation of local software unstable [3]installwatch 0.6.3-1 (11.8k) Track installation of local software _________________________________________________________________ Responses 1-3 shown, out of total of 3.
