[RESOLVED] apt-get problems.
I am having trouble with apt-get, I can't seem to install anything.
here's apt-get's output for most everything I try to install.
Code:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Reading state information... Done Package gcc is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package gcc has no installation candidate
internet connection is fine, I can ping google.
any suggestions? I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer meLast edited by cdn_linux; 07-11-2010 at 02:53 PM. Reason: resolved.

All you have is security and volatile, you also need the main debian repo.

Thanks for the pointer and the link, I seen my mistake right away.
I added the stable and stable-src entries into my sources list from the debian stable lenny section of the file you linked, then ran and apt-get update and apt-get upgrade and everything now works the way I expected it to.
attached my new sources file.
