deps install error.

[Joseph Krajacic]

When I try to install the install-debian-ubuntu-deps.sh on a Debian 6 machine I get the following error.

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package docbook-utils is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Unable to locate package help2man
E: Unable to locate package texi2html
E: Package ‘docbook-utils’ has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package chrpath

Any ideas. I installed this yesterday on a machine with the exact same environment and it was fine. So this has me puzzled…

Hi Joseph,
How recent is this Debian install? Has it been upgraded from an older version of Debian? Have you added any non-standard repositories to your apt-get sources list?

You could try running

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

and then try running the dependency script again.

Cheers,
Mike
