[Ubuntu] Installing with dpkg

**aimstolemylife** · 12-09-2005

I'm trying to install two .deb's to get xmms running with mp4/m4a codecs. Xine seems to have a plugin already, but that's beside the point.

These two packages need to be installed, however I do not see them in any repos.

libfaad2-0_2.1.beta+cvs20050130.05-0.2_i386.deb
xmms-mp4plugin_0.0.20050213-0.0_i386.deb

When I run dpkg -i libfaad2-0_2.1.beta+cvs20050130.05-0.2_i386.deb I get this..

Code:

dan@ubuntu&#58;~$ sudo  dpkg -i libfaad2-0_2.1.beta+cvs20050130.05-0.2_i386.deb
dpkg&#58; error processing libfaad2-0_2.1.beta+cvs20050130.05-0.2_i386.deb &#40;--install&#41;&#58;
 cannot access archive&#58; No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing&#58;
 libfaad2-0_2.1.beta+cvs20050130.05-0.2_i386.deb

and I really don't know what the output is telling me. I tried adding http://rarewares.org/debian/packages/unstable/ to my sources list, no luck. Running dpkg on the xmms package runs fine, though it obviously complains about not having the libfaad2 installed..

Ideas?

I got an error like that once.Try the su command and give the root passwd It should work.It worked for me.

I did that as per the "sudo" command in my first post.
