    Repository List Question...

    Hi,

    Where is the repository for: libhsqldb-java? I am trying to get my repository list back to stock, and have this package installed, but when I use synaptic it just hangs if I try to upgrade this package. I suspect that the repository is no longer in my list.

    Is there a list I can consult to see what packages are in what repository?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    Current packages for the different Debian releases can be found here:

    Debian -- Packages

    Those mirrors that have synced recently should have these packages.

    If you are using Synaptic as your package tool, it can list all packages contained within the mirrors found in your sources list.

    You've not said what branch of Debian you're using. Which would help.

    What do you mean by "...trying to get my repository list back to stock..." ? Does this mean you've added repos that are not for your Debian version? If so, bad idea. Unless you've made special arrangement for that. I'm using Testing/Squeeze and libhsqldb-java is there.

    I haven't the slights idea if this file or any app or file I install, comes from the default, contrib non-free or multimedia repos. But those repos - contrib and multimedia - are always added to my system. It's possible that's why you can't install it; Not having the correct repos installed. Or the wrong one.
