Quick Repositories Question.

[VolvoPunch]

I am using Xubuntu and i want to know how i can tie apt-get into the http://packages.ubuntu.com/ site. Don't ever want to have to install software by visiting a site i just want to use apt-get because it keeps everything clean. How can i do this. :)

apt-get should already come with all the Ubuntu repos. There's little reason for you to be installing prior or beta packages.

Synaptic, does the same thing.

I have updated my sources.list file and run apt-get update yet i still cannot download and install zabbix-server-mysql using apt-get install. Althrough i find the package on the Ubuntu package site. Is there a Debian source i can add to my list and pull packages from?

Have you enabled extra repo's

By extra repo's do you mean have i removed the # sign in front of all the addresses in the sources.list file. If so yes i have.

Go here (http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/). And replace your source.list with the one this creates.

How come i did not know about this before? I will certainly give this a try when i get home.
