Trouble installing debug packages: apt-get rejects my ddebs.list

[Spectrum]

Hello.

I am running Kubuntu 9.10.

Kile is crashing, so I want to create a good backtrace. To do this I have to install debug packages. There is no "kile-dbg", so as far as I understand I have to do it the hard way, as described here on the Ubuntu Wiki.

I have created the file "ddebs.list" containing the six lines given in the walkthrough that I linked to above.

echo "deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse" |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list
echo "deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

But apt-get is not accepting the file:

ore@ore-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get update

E: Type 'echo' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

Am I doing something wrong? Or should be doing something else entirely and I not be following the linked tutorial?

Thanks in advance.

The howto is a bit misleading.

you should run the commands (lines) in a shell (konsole) and they will write the necessary lines to a ddebs.list file.
1. run

sudo rm -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

(removes the existing file)
2. then run

echo "deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

3. then run

echo "deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb [url]http://ddebs.ubuntu.com[/url] $(lsb_release -cs)-proposed main restricted universe multiverse" |
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

The commands will create and write the correct lines into the ddebs.list file, which should look like this:

deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

Thanks. This makes much more sense. It works now.

@kubicle -

I'm assuming that the warnings after running sudo apt-get update:

W: GPG error: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ECDCAD72428D7C01
W: GPG error: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic-updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ECDCAD72428D7C01

W: GPG error: http://ddebs.ubuntu.com karmic-proposed Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY ECDCAD72428D7C01

are 'normal' in this case?

Yes...but the howto includes the instructions to get the signing key (to verify packages):

Import the debug symbol archive signing key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 428D7C01 5E0577F2

You mean I was supposed to read the howto?
