Hi, You should also make sure you have apt-show-versions installed. To do this do this. Apt-get install apt-show-versions Now when you want to know what version of a program you have installed you can then Type apt-show-versions package name. If you do not have it installed it will report that package x is not installed. Replace package name in the above example with the name of the package you are looking for. Also once you do apt-cache search package name And you find the package you are interested in you can type apt-cache show package name to get more information about it.

Subject: Re: audio players hi. In cases like this, you want to use apt-cache to see what version of libpng-dev is available. apt-cache search libpng-dev I'm running unstable, so the following line will probably be different for you. libpng12-dev - PNG library - development Usually, addibional sources won't help since they are mirrors. The only time you want to add entries is if you want to get packages not in the Debian archive. Hope this helps.
