Installing rpms and debs

["Brandon Fogerty" <bfogerty@gmail.com>]

I want to install SDL Development Libraries so I did,

root@linux_laptop:/home/bfogerty/projects

/c++/sdl_test# apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libsdl1.2debian-all is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libsdl1.2debian-esd libsdl1.2debian-alsa libsdl1.2debian-nas
  libsdl1.2debian-arts libsdl1.2debian-oss
E: Package libsdl1.2debian-all has no installation candidate

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
