Installing communicator.
Hello,
My question now is: how do I get Communicator on my sytem in order to run
"apt-get install communicator"? Currently when I try to run it it sends back
the response:
"Package communicator has no available version, but exits in the database.
This typically means 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 communicator has no istallation candidate"
I have the Debian official 6 cd set and have all of them included in dselect
(or apt or whatever the base is) from the istallation of Debian when it
asked for cds to scan. I'm pretty sure that communicator is not included on
any of those cds and so am thinking that I have to download it first via ftp
from the Debian ftp archives. Which package would I actually download from
there (for "communicator") and then how do I get it included in the
"sources.list".
Thank you for your time and energy,
Ry
