[SOLVED] Can't find a package

[DroidFighter]

I need to install build-essential which needs for it g++ package which needs for it gcc package 4.3.2-2 and for this I need gcc-4.3 4.3.2-1 and I can't find this package anywhere. I keep finding gcc-4.3 4.3.2-1.1 but after I install it it doesn't help me and gcc 4.3.2-2 still requests gcc-4.3 4.3.2-1.
Thanks in advance. So complicated

Which version of Debian are you using?

What is your end goal? Is there a piece of software you're looking to compile?

Under normal circumstances you should just be able to do

su -c 'apt-get install build-essential'

EDIT: So used to writing sudo. Changed.

Is that failing? If so, what is the output?

Debian -- Details of package build-essential in lenny

Also have you installed Synaptic Package Manager?

Its su instead of sudo in Debian.
Execute this

su -
apt-get update
apt-get install build-essential

Synaptic is a Graphical Interface of apt-get and you can manage packages with it easily.

su -
apt-get install synaptic

apt-get never worked for me... That's why I only used dpkg -i to install things right now
here are 2 pics to show what do I mean

Execute this

apt-get -f install

Sources are not configured correctly. Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file here.

Your sources.list is almost bare. All that's in it are the security update repos.

Go here and generate a new sources.list. Place in /etc/apt/sources.list

Do

su -
apt-get update && apt-get install build-essential
