Stuck with backports

[Nikos_M]

I have a problem with getting backports in my repositories.Actually this is in the file sources.list:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted multiverse universe
(without the # in front if you are curious :) )
BUT when I start synaptic (or apt-get or aptitude) I dont get the Wesnoth package 1.1.2a.From what I checked actually I was not able to find anything from backports.Only the normal versions are there.

I have been circling around for 2 days with it so any help will be VERY APPRECIATED!

Umm, did you do a

sudo apt-get update

first?

Umm, did you do a

sudo apt-get update

Yep plenty still no effect....

[george_apan]

Do you get any error messages while updating the database? Maybe the server was down. Could you try another mirror?

[Nikos_M]

i get this when i do apt-get update for example
BUT WESNOTH IS NOT THERE!At least not a version greater than 1.0.1...
And also twinkle that i am looking for is not there!

any thoughts?

I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit more to upgrade to dapper to get a newer version of wesnoth. See http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=wesnoth&searchon=name&subword=1&version=all&release=all
And twinkle is only available in dapper as well. http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=twinkle&searchon=name&subword=1&version=all&release=all

So either wait until dapper stable comes out or upgrade to the latest flight.
