Installing PyLoad

[benryu]

Hi guys. Just registered on the forums to get some help. Got my RPI B+ and setup. Had a few hiccups at the start (Noob alert). Got transmission up and running. Been using for 2 weeks now.

Now I am trying to configure PyLoad. Using this guide http://jankarres.de/2013/06/raspberry-p ... admanager/

I am stuck at step 2. I get the error "Unable to locate package liblept3".

Would really appreciate the help.

That package should be available for Raspbian.

Did you copy / paste the install command? If that's the case then try entering it manually. Copy / paste from websites can introduce (invisible) characters that the command interpreter cannot deal with.

I tried both ways. Copy pasting plus manual typing

Did you change /etc/apt/sources.list? Can you post the contents of this file.

Looks OK to me on a standard installation of Raspbian. Like Dirk, I suspect an inappropriate change to /etc/apt/sources.list

Attached the file for contents of sources list

You're missing the 'deb' line. Did you maybe change 'deb' to 'deb-src'?
I see you're editing with nano so you can easily duplicate the source line:
Select the line with deb-src, cut it (control-K) and then uncut it twice (control-U). After that change 'deb-src' on the first line to 'deb'

You should end up with

Code: Select all

deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi
deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian wheezy main contrib non-free rpi

HTH

Forgot to mention: after changing the file you do need to run 'sudo apt-get update' again.

Ok. It's late here. I'll give it a try tomorrow and update you. Thanks a lot for the help.

[benryu]

I have done as you said. But now i am getting something else which I dont understand.

[B.Goode]

Have you tried

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -f install

as it suggests?

(You probably got your system into an inconsistent state by making unneeded changes to the sources.list file: it is suggesting a way to get back to a situation it can deal with.)

[benryu]

ok let me give it a try. dint want to do anything else without guidance.

Thanks for everybody's help. I have completed the setup. I will test it and update so that thread can be closed.

Update: pyLoad working properly
