Synaptic not seeing repos

[Lostin60's]

I have 2 new repos that are listed in my sources.list file. They are also visible in System/Administration/Software Sources/Other Software. However, they are not visible under the Origins tab in Synaptic. Why would this be? And how would I download from them if Synaptic doesn't see them?

you need to do this

sudo apt-get update

then it will "see" your repo's

cheers

mushwars Already tried that. apt-get update only updates repos it sees. It doesn't seem to see my new ones...sigh

actually that is not true, I could go into /etc/apt/soruces.list and add joe blows repoisitory then apt-get update and then apt-get install joeblowsprogram.

There is something else wrong can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list ?

mushwars Here's the file. And as I said you can see lines 48 & 49 in System/Administration/Software Sources/Other Software. Makes no sense to me??

oh yea, I forgot to ask you what packages are you trying to install, that way I know which repos you need in that sources file. Otherwise I dont know if you have what you need in there or not >_<

Well for starters, python-gobject-dev_2.20.0-1_all.deb. Discovered I needed the gpg keys..getting them now.

yea that package requires
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

which you already have. So, right you need to get the key.
