[SOLVED] Web based package browser.

[rokytnji]

I won't be using it, but I am old school and stuck in my ways.

Well, The quickest way for me to jump ship is to have the rest go with the flow.

So later on. I will break out My Dell E5500 test laptop and give this a whirl.
See if I am the windshield or the bug when I try this out.

Later on is here



Ignored the later version available of downloaded mint packages in Gdebi. Followed Miskos tutorial by the numbers. I searched electricsheep> for another thread here. Looks OK to me. I have not used it to install anything yet though.

Modify:

Used the install buttons under the stars and told it to install electric sheep. The browser action thingy circled like something was loading for a split second and stopped. I checked with locate (after "sudo updatedb) electricsheep but nothing showed.

Code:

~$ apt-cache policy electricsheep
electricsheep:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

So my best guess is. Without the electric sheep Ubuntu ppa. Even though it shows up in appnr. Nothing will happen on install till apt says it is available. Because "sudo apt-get update" after installing appnr in Firefox does not change repos on the fly.
It just works with what you have. But shows what is available. Even if you cannot install it because you lack the ppa.
