Re: Question about pool for debian
Here are the lines in sources.list:
deb http://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/debian woody main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
I get this (after running apt-get update):
WebTeam5:/etc/apt# apt-cache show dbf2sql
W: Unable to locate package dbf2sql
WebTeam5:/etc/apt#
