[Tutor] menu-libre broken?
I did this sequence of commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:menulibre-dev/devel sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install menulibre But at the end of the update I got: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/menulibre-dev/devel/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/menulibre-dev/devel/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/menulibre-dev/devel/ubuntu/dists/saucy/main/binary-i386/Packages 404 Not Found which led understandably, following the third command, to: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package menulibre Sooo: I think I understand that something went wrong (the package was successfully added to my repository, I think, but then not successfully updated, and therefore couldn't be installed, or something like that). But I'm pretty clueless about what to do about it. Which is to say, help! Meanwhile however, I did find that some programs I'd installed (Python, Idle) were added to my menu when I rebooted my machine, after I'd noted they were not automatically added when I installed them with the software manager. I unreasonably blamed it all on Whisker Menu... -- Keith ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

You may well have better luck getting this answered on the Ubuntu forums. I have run into this with a few PPAs before, seems like sometimes the PPAs are not accessible for whatever reason. Obviously if the PPA is not accessible, you can't install the package. You may want to try to contact the developers of the package (there should be a contact method on the PPA's website). thomas ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

I don't know why, but like Thomas said you should contact the developers of the package, or just wait, a fix is probably underway.
