Hi I have ubuntu 5.04 and want to install manpages-dev so I'll have man pages about c/c++ commands.
So I looked in synaptic and only found manpages(which was already installed) but not manpages-dev.
So I tried to do it manually by typing:
sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
But it told me that the package was missing.
So I went here: http://packages.debian.org/testing/doc/manpages-dev
and downloaded the manpages-dev package, and then put it in my home directory.
I edited the sources.lst file and inserted the following line:
deb file:/home/myusername/
afterwards I typed:
sudo apt-get install manpages-dev
But it told me that the sources.lst file is not valid(or something like that).
What am I doing wrong, and isn't the manpages-dev package supposed to come with the cd-rom?
PS
I didn't manage to configure my internet connection in linux, so I can't retrieve packages from the internet(other than by downloading them from windows).
