Hello again,

I just did the following on quantal i386 :

wget -qO - http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/GPG-PUBLIC-KEY | sudo apt-key add -

Than added

deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/quantal/i386/ ./

to /etc/apt/sources.list

and apt-get update worked.

Sorry but no way for me: I'm getting the same error as before about a malformed line in /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm on XUbuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal with everything up to date (installing updates as they come). I also tried simply:

apt-add-repository http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages

but it adds a line:

deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages quantal main

in /etc/apt/sources.list and that doesn't work either. When I do an update, I'm getting the errors:

W: Failed to fetch http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/dists/quantal/main/source/Sources  404  Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/dists/quantal/main/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

The big problem remaining is that my packages don't replace ubuntu's
so you can have a mismatch on your machine.

Yes, I saw that, and I have removed all the old versions coming with the distribution, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks,

Thank you!
