Re: [orca-list] orca on debian



Hi John,
I think I figured out the dpkg thing about the same time you wrote your message.  Appreciate the info, though.
Now I'm gonna see if my artic wants to play.

If you've already downloaded a .deb file, you install it with dpkg. For
example, "dpkg -i <filename>".

I'm not sure there is a formal definition of a ppa but it essentially amounts
to a package repository with a signing key. A repository is a set of one or
more .deb files with documents that describe them in a way apt and aptitude
can understand. If you add the repository to your list of repositories, then
apt-get can resolve dependencies before it installs a package from the
repository or ppa.

If a package is just available for download as a .deb file. You can install
the package with the dpkg command as mentioned above. This may generate
dependency errors. But usually these can be resolved via the apt system,
"apt-get -fy install". Do that and then try the dpkg command again.

Hmm, trying to apt-get install the .deb package, but it won't do it.
Suggestions?  Here's my error.
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package gnome-orca_3.22.2-3_all.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'gnome-orca_3.22.2-3_all.deb'
Again, I'd downloaded the package, so it was sitting right there to be
found.

Hi Mark,

You can get the latest Orca version for Debian here:
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-orca/

I think you'd just apt-get install it. I'm unsure if it will pull the
dependancies it will need. Since Debian doesn't rely on PPAs like Ubuntu
does,
though I could be mistaken.

The latest version as of now for Debian is here:
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-orca/gnome-orca_3.22.2-3_all.deb

Hope this helps.

Hi all,
I just installed the smaller version of Debian.  I think they call it
the
net install.  I noticed it doesn't have the latest version of orca,
because
I
don't have the option for progress beeps.  I miss my beeps, so how can I
update this when Debian informs me hat I have the latest version?  I
think
it's
confused.  LOL!
