DEBIAN REPOSITORIES FOR UBUNTU DAPPER ?
Dear Friends!
I use Ubuntu Dapper Drake (on x86 pc) and wanted to install "isomaster" software package about which I read in a linux magazine. As this package was unavailable in my synaptic package manager with Ubuntu repositories, I downloaded the package from Debian website.
While attempting the installation, I encountered dependency errors. I believe these errors can be overcome by adding appropriate Debian repositories to the etc/apt/sources.list file of my Ubuntu OS.
Please
(1) clarify if I can have both Ubuntu repositories and debian repositories enabled at the same time ?
(2) Do I need any key to access the Debian repositories ?
(3) give me the exact debian package source location lines, that I need to add to my etc/sources.list file, so I can henceforth install packages from Debian repositories without any dependency errors.
Following are the contents of my present /etc/apt/sources.list file (if it may be of any use in suggesting a solution to my problem):
