Hello.
I'm trying to help a friend who's a Pine fan, get it built on Debian. I
recall that it must be built from source, but I can't find any references on
the Debian site to what the package names are.
I finally found the following:
tigger:~# dpkg -l "pine*"
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-==============-==============-============================================
un pine <none> (no description available)
pn pine-docs <none> (no description available)
pn pine-tracker <none> (no description available)
pn pine396-diffs <none> (no description available)
pn pine396-src <none> (no description available)
pn pine4-diffs <none> (no description available)
pn pine4-src <none> (no description available)
pn pinepgp <none> (no description available)
I tried pine4-diffs and pine4-src, but they're apparently not available.
Why would they be in my available file if they're not available? How do I fix
that, and where to such "stale" entries come from?
I then tried "apt-get source --compile pine", and that seems to work. My
question is, how would I know this? I tried an apt-cache search for pine but
it didn't show source packages. The FAQ doesn't mention the package names
either.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
