opera, realplayer10 etc. repository "invisible"

[avecchiato]

Hi,
yesterday I upgraded my Kubuntu laptop from Edgy to Feisty. Then I expanded the standard list of repositories adding medibuntu.sos-sts and archive.canonical.com.

The last one, however, seems "invisible", because none of its packages appears in the list of available ones, i.e. I cannot find opera, realplay10, desktopsecure. The only one I can see is vmware-server, but it is there both with and without the archive.canonical.com repositories. >

I have the same Kubuntu/Feisty on my desktop at work, and Opera is perfectly reachable there, so I copied its /etc/apt/sources.list into my laptop, but never changed!

Any suggestion? I know I could download the deb packages for opera and so on, but I really would like to understand what's wrong and make the proper repository working.

Thanks in advance.

G'day, avecchiato

Would you post your /etc/apt/sources.list JUST in case there is a silly little typo in it. From what you have done already, it should work.

Hi, sorry for the late answer, but I did not noticed the answer at all!

Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list

If someone can find some silly typo it would be really great!

Are you sure you can access opera on the repos with that sources.list on your other machine (so it's not just showing in your package manager since you've installed it?)

As far as I can tell, opera (or realplayer) aren't included in the Packages.gz of the feisty-commercial repos (so they shouldn't be available with feisty-commercial)...I don't know the reason why they aren't, if there is one :P

You can of course add edgy-commercial to the repos to work around, but the latest version of opera in the commercial repos is 9.20, so you can get a more recent version downloading from the opera site (or using opera's own deb repository 'deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free')

EDIT: desktopsecure OTOH seems to only be available through 'dapper-commercial'

Have you updated your package lists?

As far as I remember, my other machine can access at least opera, since I'm almost sure that a few days ago it updated this browser to the 9.21 version. However I'm not sure about realplayer and the other missing packages.

However there is one funny news. I downloaded version 9.20 from the opera site and installed via debi, and now adept detected and installed (I don't know from where) the update to version 9.21.

Sure. At least as far as one can be sure with computers ...

Err..that sounds rather strange

Are you sure you didn't download 9.21 from opera? After you install a .deb package (via debi or other means), it will show in adept (for easy removal).
