Question on apt-get ?

Why everytime i do a sudo apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot debhelper libgdbm-dev libldap2-dev libpcre3-dev libssl-dev libsasl2-dev postgresql-server-dev-8.2 po-debconf dpatch libmysqlclient15-dev lsb-release libcdb-dev libdb-dev


IN the end i get this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package postgresql-server-dev-8.2


It always says it could find that package, i believe this is exactly why i screwed up squirrel mail last time. and before that i had done the following below and completed successfully.

sudo apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authlib-mysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2-2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl phpmyadmin apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-mysql libpam-smbpass

Which distro are you using?

postgresql-server-dev-8.2 is not available for some of the newer Ubuntu distros, but I am sure you could still get it to work.

Ubuntu -- Details of package postgresql-server-dev-8.2 in gutsy

But once again, this depends on which distro of Linux you are using.

I'm on Ubuntu Hardy, I'm currently researchinng but nothing so far


I'm using this tutorial by the way : http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...ail-ubuntu8.04 on installing squirrel mail

Version numbers are usually not part of the package name.

And I thought Squirrel Mail uses MySQL (I used to run it).
