I need to install this: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/

so i have to add two lines in the file. I do add it, then it says I can't save it cause I dont have the correct permission. I guess its read only, apparently..

how do i go about fixing this? thanks..

i'm on D. Drake

Sorry, I got that part.

However, I'm having trouble now with someothing else:

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main
deb-src http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main

Run these commands (on command line) to accept the new entries in sources.list. Adding the key to the apt keyring may be optional depending on your system's settings.

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv DEDA0559

gpg --export --armor DEDA0559 | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update

Install it!

sudo apt-get install moblock-nfq

Those are the instructions. I added the two tings to the sources.list

I also then put in the lines after it in the command line.

This is what I get:

pratik@pratik-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install moblock-nfq

what's up with the Couldn't find package moblock-nfq? Anyone have any ideas?

you gotta do 'sudo apt-get update' first so that apt can retrieve the headers from the new repo

Hi, I tried that, and now it says I have a broken package:

pratik@pratik-laptop:~$ gpg --export --armor DEDA0559 | sudo apt-key add -
OK
pratik@pratik-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
moblock-nfq: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20 is to be installed
Depends: libnetfilter-queue1 (>= 0.0.12) but it is not installable
Depends: libnfnetlink1 (>= 0.0.16) but it is not installable
Depends: libnetfilter-queue1 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

[kostas]

Try compiling from source

[M4A1]

How do you exactly do that? I'm a n00b with linux.

[The General]

If the repository has broken packages, there's nothing you can do about it. You might want to upgrade to edgy elf or whatever, to do that just change all instances of "dapper" in your sources.list to "edgy" without quotes obviously. Then save it and apt-get update, then apt-get dist-upgrade.

[Greg]

Go into Synaptic, completely remove the broken package, and try again.

Depends: libnetfilter-queue1 (>= 0.0.12) but it is not installable
Depends: libnfnetlink1 (>= 0.0.16) but it is not installable
Depends: libnetfilter-queue1 but it is not installable

You might have to find the above packages elsewhere.
