So, what am I doing wrong/how do I get OOo 3 installed?
I am quoting from Backports.org instructions, try if it works for you. [begin_quote]3. All backports are deactivated by default (i.e. the packages are pinned to 1 by using |NotAutomatic: yes| in the Release files, just as in experimental). If you want to install something from backports run:*apt-get -t lenny-backports install /“package”/* Of course, you can use *aptitude* as well: * aptitude -t lenny-backports install /“package”/* */[end_quote]/*For me, I have set backports with the highest priorities, so anything at backports.org <http://backports.org> with a higher version number will be automatically installed.Good luck.
Thanks for that, Zahn, it (aptitude) worked perfectly. What a pity Synaptic is not that capable. Ah well...
Personally I am quite happy with running Lenny, with updates, on my server - therefore also on a number of LTSP workstations. Occasionally, in cases such as this, I resort to backports, but certainly wouldn't want to be automatically selecting the backport.
I run Kubuntu on my laptop, though... -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:tony@vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England |
