    Weird problem

    I'm running Kubuntu 5.10, I don't know what's wrong, but no matter what package I try (in here it was ZSNES), I get this error.

    Re: Weird problem

    You got some dead repos in your sources.list. And odds are that the app you're trying to install is in one of the dead repos.
    "Some people says that if you run a Microsoft Midori iso backwards you will hear demon voices commanding you to worship Satan". But that's nothing. If you run it forward it will install Microsoft Midori.
