[10:50] <ClevelandRock> The Ubuntu forums actually asked me to ask you guys.
[10:50] <ansgar> !ubuntu
[10:50] <dpkg> Ubuntu is based on Debian, but it is not Debian, and it is unlikely to live up to Debian's standards (see <Debian policy>). Only Debian is supported on #debian. Use #ubuntu (irc.freenode.net) instead. Even if the channel happens to be less helpful, support for distributions other than Debian is offtopic on #debian. See also <based on debian>.
[10:50] <will> ask at #ubuntu
[10:50] <will> for ubuntu
[10:50] <abrotman> ClevelandRock: that's just silly, really it is
[10:50] <will> wow
[10:51] <will> crazy guys at #ubuntu
[10:51] <will> :-D
[10:51] <ClevelandRock> But I apparently need this package, and I get a 404 error on all of the mirrors: http://packages.debian.org/etch/libstdc%2B%2B2.10-glibc2.2
[10:51] <bartm> ClevelandRock: you could try installing debian, reproduce the problem (if you can), and come back to ask the question here :)
[10:51] <will> may be you just misunderstood
[10:51] <themill> ClevelandRock: (a) don't mix distros like that and (b) /topic.
[10:51] <abrotman> ClevelandRock: that will likely break your system, and this still is not an ubuntu support channel
[10:52] <ClevelandRock> Well, alright.
[10:52] <ansgar> ClevelandRock: Etch is no longer on the normal mirrors, only on archive.debian.org. And installing packages for a different distribution (or even just a different release) will often not work anyway.
[10:53] <ClevelandRock> Thanks. I'll let the forum know.
Edit: #ubuntu was no help. They, too, recommended not installing Debian packages on Ubuntu. I found the guy who ported the game to Linux on Facebook, so, hopefully he'll respond. I doubt he will. Haha.
