Raspberry Pi Forums

I have installed the latest stretch version of raspbian onto an old PC.

tried to install usbbootgui using
sudo apt install usbbootgui as per the blog and also
sudo apt-get install usbbootgui as per the instructions on uodating an old version of the desktop.

I get an error
E: unable to locate package usbbootgui

I have also done
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y

still get the same error.

Am I going something wrong or has something happened to the repositories?

no idea but does https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbbootg ... /README.md help

What's the output of 'apt-cache policy'?

Here is the output.

I do not understand what it is telling me, but I am surprised to see references to jessie, should not this be stretch?

But then again it is what you would expect if you have reburnt your jessie image and not the latest stretch!!!!!

sorry to bother everyone, I could not understand why no one else was having problems. Now I know.
