apt-get -y build-dep lsb-base problems

[zimele]

HI Guys

TO anyone that can help

when i try to run this command

apt-get -y build-dep lsb-base

E: Build-Depends dependency for lsb cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package debhelper can satisfy version requirements

Which linux distribution do you use? Debian 3.1?

[zimele]

Yes it is Debian 3.1

and This is my source
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/

[till]

Please set your sources.list to:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main

and run apt-get update

I guess your installation contains unstable packages as you have not restricted apt to the stable release.

[zimele]

lsb-base# dpkg-i lsb-base*.deb

It's dpkg -i, not dpkg-i.

I have tried this as suggested and it does not work.

my sources.list file:

deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main

When i apt-get upgrade and then run the apt-get -y build lsb-base is still get the same error message!

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris

i just removed the line that the HOWTO said i must include

deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free

and just ran with

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main

and then do a apt-get update
and apt-get upgrade

then do the apt-get -y build lsb-base

It Should work
