sources.list entry for KDE - how to construct?
Hi
I'm not stupid, but I feel that way sometimes; I seem to be unable
to get my sources.list right for KDE. Examining the lynx -dump command (see
below), we find that the Packages.gz file resides in the same place as all
the .deb files. According to my understanding, apt-get looks for the
Packages.gz file in the second field (URI) of the sources.list, and the .deb
files themselves in the third field (distribution). So I reckon my entry
should look like this:
deb ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato/i386 /
which totally does not work, or like this
deb ftp://ftp.us.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/distribution/deb/potato i386/
which seems happy, but then doesn't show the packages as available for
dselect. Has anyone worked this out?
