Problems with apt-get
I'm not sure if my problem is related to my system's configuration (emulated PPC) or PowerPC in general.
When I try to install a package, I get a message that the file couldn't be found and the URL that was attempted. I can copy the URL and pass it to wget and the file is retrieved -- no problem.
If anyone has a clue as to what's wrong I would really appreciate it. I'm investigating using Debian as the OS for an embedded product. The product looks like it will have to have a PowerPC processor based on some other system requirements. I'm trying to get a head start on the software side by using qemu-system-ppc to simulate the system.
The following screen capture shows the problem. Note that I was able to use wget to retrieve all the files apt-get claimed were not found. Also, my terminal session is an X11 xterm sent from the debian system to my desktop's X11 server so if networking was failing, my display would have gone away.
