Jenna:
You have to add the line

--- Code: ---http://apt.tt-solutions.com/debian/ etch main
--- End code ---
to /etc/apt/sources.list (as root)
and with

--- Code: ---wget -q http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc -O-  | sudo apt-key add -
--- End code ---
(also as user root) Vadim Zeitlin's public-key is added to apt trusted key database.
Vadim Zeitlin signed the wxWidgets packages on tt-solutions.com (he's one of the wxWidgets developers).
Without that key you get an (overridable) error message.
"apt" is the backend for synaptic and aptitude.

You can fetch compiled nightlies for debian (etch / stable, lenny / testing, sid /unstable) from my repo.
Have a look at the latest nightlies threads.

johne53:
Sorry I haven't tried the nightlies because I specifically want to try the same s/ware version on both PC's.

I typed both of your lines into the relevant places but it seems to have screwed me up completely. If I now launch Synaptic (or try to use apt-get) I see an error looking something like this:-


--- Quote ---'http://apt.tt-solutions.com/debian/' is not known on line 5 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
The list of sources could not be read
--- End quote ---

Is the syntax right (e.g. should there be a space before 'etch'?)


[Edit...] Also - I've assumed that '-O-' is a letter 'O' and not a number zero.

Jenna:
the letter O is right, and I forgot a deb at the beginning of the line for sources.list.
Try:

--- Code: ---deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/debian/ etch main
--- End code ---

I'm very sorry  :?

johne53:
Thanks for the correction. That seems to have got me a bit further - though not really a lot further. I now get this error when launching synaptic....


--- Quote ---W: Couldn't stat source package list http://apt.tt-solutions.com etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/apt.tt-solutions.com_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
--- End quote ---

Jenna:
Did you start synaptic with root-privileges ?
If I delete "/var/lib/apt/lists/apt.tt-solutions.com_debian_dists_etch_*" manually, and after that start it as normal user, I get this message.
If you start it as root, try
--- Code: ---apt-get update
--- End code ---
from a console (as root of course).
If that doesn't work you can post your "/etc/apt/sources.list", and I look for an error.
