Re-installing lost package
gnofin vanished from my Kanotix install a couple of weeks ago ... probably
during one of those big dist-upgrades. When I apt-get install gnofin, apt
said:
Package gnofin 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
E: Package gnofin has no installation candidate
My sources.list contained only sid and testing, so I added stable and found
gnofin. There were six dependencies, none of which were installed (any
version). I backed up the partition, then apt installed gnofin and
friends. Everything SEEMS to work. I commented out the stable entry in
sources.list.
Is my "solution" safe and appropriate? Should stable be included in my
sources.list permanently?
