DESTROY (perl experts please) (fwd)
Subject: RE: DESTROY (perl experts please)
I don't seem to get the same reply back when I apt-cache search for the
packages. Are my sources.list wrong for potato?
Man, I just don't get that list of perl stuff when I apt-cache search grep
for perl. Maybe my sources are not what they should be:
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/distributions/debian unstable main
deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/evolution/distributions/Debian ./
deb ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian/ potato main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://http.us.debian.org/debian/ potato main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main
All I get is:
root@ghost:/etc/apt> apt-cache search perl | grep 5.6
perl-5.6 - Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
perl-5.6-base - The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
See Steve's return below... ?
Any advice?
Thanks!
