Re: Woody KDE 3 packages
Yes! Thanks. I didn't know of the apt-cache policy command. Because the Release file was broken upstream, apt assigned it a priority of -1. I added the following lines to apt/preferences: Package: * Pin: origin download.kde.org Pin-Priority: 951 Thanks, Shaun Blind shot: $ apt-cache policy $ man apt_preferences And doesn't this question belong to users? -towo
Woody KDE 3 packages
I'm using the following APT line deb http://download.kde.org/stable/3.1.2/Debian stable main When I update, the Release file is ignored by apt-get. Why is this? Also, I can't seem to upgrade or install the new packages. What have I done wrong here? Thanks, Shaun # apt-get update Hit http://download.kde.org woody/main Packages Ign http://download.kde.org woody/main Release Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...
