apt-get problem
I've screwed around with apt-get and dselect so much that whenever I try
to install a package I get the following message:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
yossarian:/home/dlm# apt-get install eterm
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package [eterm] has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package eterm has no installation candidate
Is there any way to remedy this?
Here's how apt-get is reading the sources file:
# apt-get update
