can't install xpdf-i
I am trying to install xpdf-i from unstable but apt isn't letting me:
@phoenix:[/root] apt-get install xpdf-i
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package xpdf-i has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, or that it is an obsolete package.
However the following packages replace it:
xpdf
E: Package xpdf-i has no installation candidate
Exit 100
I then decided to try the version from stable by commenting out the
unstable lines from my /etc/apt/sources.list and then rerunning:
apt-get update
but I got the exact same error message. All dependencies are ok for
unstable (and hence stable).
I ended up downloading the .deb myself and installing it using dpkg. But I
still can't figure out why apt wouldn't install it.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable updates
deb http://www.netgod.net/ x/
I then changed the non-us line to the unstable area but it still didn't work:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable non-US
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable updates
deb http://www.netgod.net/ x/
This was the last error message:
@phoenix:[/root] apt-get update

Err http://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US Packages

W: Couldn't stat source package list

(/var/state/apt/lists/non-us.debian.org_debian-non-US_dists_unstable_non-US_binary-i386_Packages)
- stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these missing files
running a second time didn't help.
Any ideas why this might be happening ? Is my /etc/apt/sources.list correct
?
Thanks.
