apt question revisitted
Disclaimer: Post from blatant newbie.
I tried der.hans' advice to add the two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
for woody (these exactly match the woody page on www.debian.org, BTW)
> deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
> deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
contrib non-free
and then per his suggestion, did the following:
> Do an "apt-get update", then an "apt-get install apt"...
This seems to have failed. See below for what appeared in my terminal,
suggestions as to how to proceed very much appreciated--I'd like to
either revert to how things were before, or finish this installation
without totally bonking the system.
Side topic: My motivation for upgrading from potato is that I need to
learn java, would prefer to do it on Linux. I'm having trouble
installing a java SDK that supports the examples in O'Reilly's
Nutshell book I'm also having the usual trouble getting java applets
to run on potato's version of Mozilla. I downloaded mozilla 0.9.2, but
it won't run because it can't find the shared library:
'libc6++.so.u.think.u.can.run.linux'. I downloaded the Sun Java SDK,
javac won't run either, basically says the same thing. I *think* I
know that this error means that the program is looking for a symbolic
link to the libc shared library, can someone confirm this and/or
explain how to resolve these issues?
Thanks,
