Re: upgrade to a lib in testing
Hi. I don't seem to have it right. I get an error on 'apt-get install
libsdl1.1-dev':
Reading Package Lists...
Building Dependency Tree...
E: Couldn't find package libsdl1.1-dev
Here's my sources.list:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable 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
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://linuxvideo.org/oms/data/debian ./
I'm also trying to 'apt-get install oms'. That says it won't install as a
one line because of other dependencies. How do I indicate it should pull
those, too?
Is there a way I can see all this in dselect so that I can interactively
check dependencies?
Thanks!
Robin
