No, that's not how they do these things. https://packages.debian.org/jessie/jmtpfs is merely a package description, not a repository. > I have pasted the response to that > below and after that the contents of my sources.list (i tried with and without > 'deb' in front of the line about jmtpfs in the sources.list but with the same > error result). Both should not work anyway. sources.list has a specific format, violating it won't do you any good. What you were meant to do is to add this to your sources.list: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy-backports main and run apt-get update apt-get install -t wheezy-backports jtmpfs Reco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
