sorry for the stupid question, I’m brand new to ubuntu, have no idea in many areas of it.

my question is: what does “edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file” mean? how do I do it?

thanks a lot!

per Trevino’s site: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/3v1n0/

the repos should be

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0

(replace edgy with dapper if needed)

otherwise you get an error when trying to update (404 or something along those lines)…

Hope this helps someone!

I needed to use this apt sources entry instead:

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0
deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb edgy 3v1n0

because the server issued a redirect to another host that aptitude install (and propably apt-get) was not able to handle. aptitude update worked however.
