[Xapian-discuss] debian etch packages

[Josef Novak]

Hi,
  I'd like to know if the directions for the apt repository for debian
etch, on the project website,
http://xapian.org/download.php
------------------------
$ su -
enter your root password
# wget -O- http://www.xapian.org/debian/archive_key.asc|apt-key add -
# exit
...
...

If you're running Debian stable (etch) add the following to your sources.list:

    deb http://www.xapian.org/debian stable main
    deb-src http://www.xapian.org/debian stable main

If you're running Debian testing (and the packages haven't propagated
in Debian yet) or unstable (and the packages haven't yet been uploaded
to Debian), add the following to your sources.list:

    deb http://www.xapian.org/debian unstable main
    deb-src http://www.xapian.org/debian unstable main
----------------------
  are up-to-date?

  I am running Debian Etch 4.0, but they do not seem to be working quite right.
  Specifically, using:
deb http://www.xapian.org/debian stable main
deb-src http://www.xapian.org/debian stable main
$ sudo apt-get -f update
Reading package lists... Done
W: Conflicting distribution: http://www.xapian.org stable Release
(expected stable but got etch)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Yet if I change this to
deb http://www.xapian.org/debian etch main
deb-src http://www.xapian.org/debian etch main
$ sudo apt-get -f update
$ sudo apt-get install xapian-omega
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Suggested packages:
  unzip antiword libwpd-tools unrtf xpdf-utils gs-common catdoc
libwps-tools catdvi djvulibre-bin
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  xapian-omega

Unpacking xapian-omega (from .../xapian-omega_1.0.7-3~bpo40+1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up xapian-omega (1.0.7-3~bpo40+1) ...
----------------------------------

I have no problems, yet
$ sudo apt-get install xapian-core
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package xapian-core

------------------------------
The testing repositories produced similar results.  Am I doing
something wrong?
For now I'm sticking to the source.

Cheers,
