Hi everyone,
I've been having problems with installing packages on my kubuntu feisty lately. The adept package manager seems to find much fewer packages than it used to, and even if I click e.g. 'request install' on wine, it doesn't say 'install' in the 'requested' column, it stays on 'no change'.
At first I though my packaging system is messed up (which is btw. still quite possible), but I can't seem to download packages directly from http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty either. E.g. both on the page http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/i386/flex/download or http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/i386/bison/download all the links seem to be dead. (By which I mean that I randomly clicked about 5-10 of them, and all those were dead.)
Is it possible that feisty is not supported anymore to such an extent that all or most of the packages have become unavailable? If this is the case, isn't there a backup site/repository where I can still download packages for feisty from?
(Yes, I'm forced to stay on feisty, because later versions of Ubuntu don't recognize my Olympus digital camera -- this is a known problem, by the way, I think there's also a bugzilla for it, but at least some discussion in forums.)
Thanks a lot,
Agoston
