problem installing git

[anderser]

Hi,

I'm trying to install git on my bubba server but since i'm new to linux I've run into some problems.

when I type:

Code: Select all

apt-get install git-core

I get:

Code: Select all

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package git-core is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package git-core has no installation candidate

I'm guessing i need some changes in my /etc/apt/sources.list, but not sure. Currently it looks like this:

Code: Select all

#deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
#deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main
#deb http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ sarge non-free

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main
deb-src http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main

deb http://update.excito.net/ bubba main

Anyone have any pointers on what to do?

Your sources.list references 'sarge' which is no longer supported (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Releases). You'd need to upgrade it to 'etch' or 'lenny'. There may be info elsewhere in the forum about how to do this.
