Would one of you knowledgeable folk help me with this? I would like packages zlib and readline installed on my stock Bubba|Two, but they fail when I try this:

Code: Select all

bubba:/# apt-get install zlib
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package zlib
bubba:/# apt-get install readline
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package readline
bubba:/#

At this point the waters get too deep for me. Your advice would be appreciated by this ancient programmer who goes back to the late 1970s. Thanks!

Use

Code: Select all

apt-cache search <package name>

to search for the stuff you need, for example

Code: Select all

apt-cache search readline

You are probably looking for libreadline5 and zlib1g (which both is installed per default)
