Short version: Can anyone please post a Server 9.04 x86 sources.list? :<
I have a server with OVH.co.uk.
I used their frontend to install Ubuntu Server 9.04 (x86). I ssh'd to the server, changed the root password, added a normal user and added that user to the sudoers file.
Now, I wanted to download the backup from the previous server. I tried launching lftp, but it wasn't preinstalled. Fair enough, I thought, I'd just get it.
$ sudo apt-get install lftp

E: Couldn't find package lftpI thought that was strange, but figured I'd just compile it from source. I downloaded the source, and the configure script told me gcc was not present. Strange, but I figured I'd just get that too...
$ sudo apt-get install gcc

E: Couldn't find package gccAnd then I checked, and the package is there! http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/gcc
...and then I checked my /etc/apt/sources.list file... and it was using ovh repositories, apart for the security ones. Where can I find the original sources.list? (I assume my other issues, such as gcc being missing, are also caused by this being some OVH flavor of Ubuntu Server)
edit: Upon running apt-get update I was able to find the gcc package on their repositories, but then I get this error:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
gcc: Depends: gcc-4.3 (>= 4.3.2-1) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
libc-dev
E: Broken packagesGetting one dependency requires more, and I'm really not keen on doing this manually :/
edit2: I also get errors like this:
Depends: libdbus-glib-1-2 (>= 0.71) but it is not going to be installedShouldn't it automatically get dependencies for me? How can I make it automatically install dependencies?
After all that... it would probably be easier to just install a stock Ubuntu Server, without all the OVH stuff. Is there a way to control a server installation completely through SSH, from start to finish? (of course, it will be started from this current installation)
