    [SOLVED] 8.10 - package managment problems

    i recently installed intrepid x64 and i have a serious problem with package management:
    any new repository that i add is simply ignored by every package management/installing software i use - it's the same with adept and synaptic; apt-get doesn't work either.
    that means that the only search results i get, are from the repositories that are included in the original installed version of 8.10.
    i really have no idea what the problem could be, the sources.list looks fine to me:

    Code:
    # deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release amd64 (20081029.1)]/ intrepid main restricted
# See [url]http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes[/url] for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

deb [url]http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] intrepid main restricted
deb-src [url]http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] intrepid restricted main multiverse universe #Added by software-properties
deb [url]http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] intrepid universe
deb-src [url]http://at.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] intrepid universe #Added by software-properties


## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.

    Re: 8.10 - package managment problems

    I'm away from my Intrepid box at the moment, but these lines look peculiar to me:

    Code:
    "#Added by software-properties"
    -- I don't ever remember seeing such a thing.

    Moreover, why do you have Hardy sources?

    Code:
    deb [url]http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] hardy universe
    Code:
    deb [url]http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/ubuntu/archive/[/url] hardy main
    I think your sources.list file is a bit errr... non-standard. If you don't have a backup of the original 8.10 sources.list file, I can post mine later.

      Sometimes people who are new at this stuff forget that they have to have the package manager that they use do an "update" after adding repositories. That causes it to check the repositories in your sources.list and down load package lists from them, which is the only way your system can know what is available. A command as simple as, sudo apt-get update, would do that for you. All the other package managers have their own method, and any method should get the package lists and put them in /var/lib/apt/lists for all the package managers to use.

      When you do this, an error will be dropped if there is anything wrong with your sources.list.

        Re: 8.10 - package managment problems

        thanks for the answers, i tried playing around with the sources list a little, but it changed nothing.
        of course i had tried the updating thing several times before and it doesn't help either.

        @ dibl: i would like to take you up on your offer of posting the original sources.list file, maybe this will get me further.

        thanx again

        [EDIT]: damn, it suddenly works, and i have no idea why. maybe the playing around with the sources.list was not such a bad idea after all :-)
        anyway, thanks for your help again.

          Not dibl's, but mine, more or less pristine, sources.list with openoffice3 and medibuntu repos added:

          # Medibuntu
          deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ intrepid free non-free
          You will probably change all country references (mine is de). Now do a:
          Code:
          sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
          And install to your heart's content
