Unable to install Gnome-Do via Synaptic

Asked by Nazgul748

I have a fresh installation of Intrepid and the next thing I want is Docky. Unfortunately when I try to add Gnome-Do via Synaptic it tells me that some files can not be found. I have added the appropriate repositories and the key. The error is as follows:

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-do/gnome-do_0.8.0-0~intrepid~ppa1_i386.deb
  404 Not Found

W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-do-plugins/gnome-do-plugins_0.8.0.2-0~intrepid~ppa1_all.deb
  404 Not Found

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

did you add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/do-core/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

then you have to add the gpg-key for this repository. Instructions are on the ppa-page:
https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa

If yes you could type
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install gnome-do gnome-do-plugins

Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your reply.
I have added the sources to my repository lists and I have added the gpg-key. I get the same error if I use aptitude via the terminal or if I try to install via Synaptic.

I have manually verified that the sources show in my /etc/apt/sources.list file.

I still get the same error. Has Gnome-Do been removed from the repository?

No, I don't think so. I tried to install gnome-do on my test maschine after I wrote the answer and it worked fine.
Do you use the 32bit or 64bit version of ubuntu? As far as I can see on https://launchpad.net/~do-core/+archive/ppa the latest build for the amd64 package is broken

I used the 32 bit build of Ubuntu. I'm at a loss. I've installed Gnome-Do on 2 other machines within the last 2 months using the same technique I'm using now. It just refuses to find the files.
Thanks.

Hi Nazgul748,

Yes, version 0.8.0-0 seems to be removed from repos, the last is gnome-do_0.8.1-0~intrepid~ppa1_i386.deb (March-15)

Solution I see in next steps:

- remove entries about gnome-do sources from /etc/apt/sources.list
- update database
- add sources, update again. check version showed in Synaptic.

Hi,
Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. I just downloaded the 8.1.0 version manually from the repository and installed them via the packet manager. It seemed to work.
Thanks for you help.
