Debian & Ubuntu sources

Mon, 02/11/2009 - 7:46pm — stefanor

Added sources for the Debian and Ubuntu repositories this weekend. This means that deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list won’t produce errors.

Also added canonical-partner, together with a virtualhost, so if you run

$ http_proxy=http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za:80/ sudo aptitude install flashplugin-installer

It should download and install flash correctly.

Sudo in the wrong place

Sudo in the wrong place there, should be:

$ sudo http_proxy=http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za:80/ aptitude install flashplugin-installer

Flash plugin upgrades

I tried the command 

$ sudo http_proxy=http://ftp.leg.uct.ac.za:80/ aptitude install flashplugin-installer
and it used to work but now it doesn’t work any more. Whenever I try to install/upgrade Flash, it doesn’t work and I get this response:
The following partially installed packages will be configured:
  flashplugin-installer 
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

The Flash plugin is NOT installed.

My CNTLM is up to date and properly installed, so is this another ICTS problem?
