Hello, I solved the problem, it was my fault. Now the SDK is installed and working. I give a brief explanation of what happened.
My Ubuntu 7.10 was installed from the "desktop" cd. During the installation the PC loses the internet connection, see below why. At the end of the cd installation, the installer verifies if there is any update for the installed packages, and the search is done in a number of standard repositories listed in: /etc/apt/sources.list Unfortunately the missing Internet connection not only prevents any update at the end of the installation, but also causes the installer to "comment out" all the external repositories entries in the file sources.list. Only the local CD source remains active. So any successive activation of apt-get sees only the packages listed on the CD. This causes the error. The solution is simple: activate Internet connection and after this edit the source repository file, de-commenting the valid paths removed from the installer. To activate the Internet access, I commented some ipv6 entries and had to put static ip in the LAN configuration.
