bzr on ubuntu these days

Post by INW »

What ever happened to the simple command to install bzr?

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bzr
Now you've got to put a path after the command and after ever other installation command for ubuntu.
This has been giving me the most trouble for the past year or so. I cannot find a path/url to fit this command. I always get the hated

Code: Select all

Unable to locate package bzr (or whatever package I want to install including aclocal)
I know dlh and kyle helped me with this before but chatzilla doesn't save chat history.
I am flabbergasted to why this is so difficult.

Your /etc/apt/sources.list could be faulty. Try navigating to the said file and putting the links contained in the file in your browser to see if you get a 404 Page not found error. This has happened to me before. If so, you'll have to change the source links.

Or maybe try apt-get install bazaar? No idea if that'll work, but it's the actual name of the software...

There are 3 listed in that file (with 1 url which works):

I think I found the issue here.
Just noticed I never typed:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
I only did

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade
Seems to work fine for the time being.

I knew it!

Let me warn you and all other server admins. You need to do both

Code: Select all

apt-get update
and

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade
at least once a month to keep your hosting server up to date with security patches.
To explain, apt-get update only updates the list of available packages. apt-get upgrade actually updates all the packages.
