I believe they are in universe. For warty:



deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ warty universe


Could also be multiverse though.

See the warty guide (www.ubuntuguide.org) for possible instructions...

The w32codecs are in hoary-extras on Ubuntu backports (http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/).
gstreamer0.8-mad (which allows mp3 playback) is in universe or multiverse (as TjaBBe said).
gstreamer0.8-lame (which allows mp3 encoding) is in the marillat repo.

You must add the marillat repository.
add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

or through Synaptic -> Repositories

To bad w32codecs aren't in the ubuntu repos though. I hate adding the marillat repos just for this.

yes, sometimes it's a pain in the ass to launch synaptic, add a repository, wait for reload, install a single package, remove repository, wait for reload, close synaptic. It's a lot easier to do this in the command line, though.

I never use command line. If you do it the way you suggest it, the packages will be marked "obsolete" in the apt system as far is I know (at least it was that way in debian). I wouldn't want that.

i'm talking about adding the repository line to sources.list in /etc/apt/ ,
update, install, remove the line again, and update again.
It's the same process, but faster for me.

Does this make the packages obsolete?

I believe so. Debian did it in anycase. You can check by starting aptitude if you like. (This is somewhat of a console-gui for apt) It is sorting packages by state.

You're right! I just removed the repository of marillat, and the packages I instaled from it are in section obsolete. But I don't see a problem with this...
