Thanks indeed to Kevin, thanks indeed to all.
I will be looking for vendors here in Italy.
Meanwhile, I solved the problem the following way:
My /etc/apt/sources.list was the following:
------------------------------------------
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20050607)]/ unstable contrib main
# deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib
------------------------------------------
. I added to sources.list the following two lines:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
, then connected to internet and did:
# apt-get update
. I disconnected, and did:
# apt-get build-dep emacs21
, and got the following output:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Note, selecting libtiff4-dev instead of libtiff-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
autotools-dev build-essential dpatch libice-dev libjpeg62-dev
liblockfile-dev libncurses5-dev libpng12-dev libpng3-dev libsm-dev
libtiff4-dev libtiffxx0 libungif4-dev libungif4g libx11-dev libxaw7-dev
libxext-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev libxmuu-dev libxp-dev libxpm-dev
libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev libxt-dev libxtrap-dev libxtst-dev libxv-dev
pm-dev render-dev x-dev xaw3dg xaw3dg-dev xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev
zlib1g-dev
The following packages will be upgraded:
libice6 libsm6 libx11-6 libxaw7 libxext6 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6
libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 libxv1 zlib1g
16 upgraded, 36 newly installed, 0 to remove and 83 not upgraded.
Need to get 10.3MB/12.7MB of archives.
After unpacking 26.6MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
. I said 'no' and then installed the packages Debian wanted to install,
*without* the upgradings. Then I installed emacs cvs fine, just as I wanted,
using *nothing* else but my two DVDs.
Do you think it is a good solution?
Cheers,
Rodolfo
