[Slug71]

Have you tried installing it from the Software Center?

[deadflowr]

Have tried running an apt-get update to see if your connection to the repos is good?

[Hungry Man]

There isn’t a software package called “gparted” in your current software sources.

That's what the software center says.

apt-get update runs fine.

Perhaps this is related to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166511 and I deleted some repo? I just tried installing wine and got the same error.

Hungry Man, o/ :)

I think you need to run apt-get update, then try installing.

[Slug71]

What version(13.04?) of Ubuntu are you running?


Update: If 13.04, it's definitely there. Just checked.

[deadflowr]

If your sources.list is borked up then maybe try building a new one.
Look here
http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/

then replace the old with a new one.

[Hungry Man]

I'll try generating a new one.

But gparted was installing and I got this error

Gparted did install though.

Here's the new sources list.

Ah you're on Saucy. you should have posted in "Ubuntu +1" since there was likely a breakage with one of the last updates. You're on a development release.

[Hungry Man]

Nope, I wasn't on Saucy when this topic started lol when I changed the sources list it upgraded me to it for some odd reason (I picked 13.04, I must have misclicked). Anyways, I solved it (by reformatting lol) so there it is.

Weird. Glad you got it sorted though. Even if it's not the way you would have liked.

[Mark Phelps]

I believe Saucy is still in tha Alpha stages -- which means you're going to get breakage on a regular basis. You should really not use the pre-release versions unless you're an expert and easily able to deal with bugs. Also, when using a pre-release version, you should post in the Development section, not here.

This thread actually started as a raring thread, but when generating a new source.list, the OP messed up and choose saucy instead of raring.
It's unclear what version the OP is using now, as we know that he reformatted the system and started fresh.

[stoneguy]

Saucy's gparted is 0.16.1, so it handles F2FS if that's something anyone wants to play with.

Please disable the saucy-proposed line since saucy is not yet a stable release. You can disable it by adding a # to the beginning of the line. More explanation of "why" on the wiki (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ProposedMigration).
