Hi,
I had the wrong source repository. You
don’t need to enable the partner/partner source repositories.
Instead, only enable the community maintained source
repository. Everything else should work since I just tested
it.
Andy et al,
I’m having a big issue here with this link
provided. I was able to go into Software Updater, Settings,
Other software tab, and check both the boxes for partners and
partners source. I reloaded, hit OK on software updater,
opened Terminal with Alt+CTRL+T, did my apt-get install git
That worked fine, but the next step’s where
I’m getting stuck. I’m now doing:
sudo apt-get build-dep orca
as Andy outlined. When I do so, I’m being
told it cannot find any package source with that name of orca.
I tried gnome-orca instead, but that didn’t
work either.
Upon doing
orca -v
I’m told 3.28.0. No pre, no master,
nothing. Just 3.28.0.
I have reasons for wanting to install the
Master. I can’t continue though with the steps until we figure
out why on earth it’s telling me there is no package with that
name.
This is a freshly new partitioned/formatted
system. Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS.
I’ve literally speaking done ab, suh,
lootly nothing! nada! with this system. It’s only been
installed all of maybe 45 minutes at time of writing this
message from my other Windows 10 machine.
Literally the only thing I’ve done aside
the above is once I first booted into my installation, I
opened Terminal and did:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Note, I didn’t say dist-upgrade
Can someone help me out here? What am I
missing?
Andy’s original message, with the link I’m
referencing to above is below.
Here you go.

Folks,
I have Googled like crazy, and have looked
through my inbox, checked list archives to the best of my
ability, etc, but just cannot for the life of me find this.
Recently, a message was posted by Andy B on
this list, with the complete how-to guide to install Orca
Master (AKA Orca Pre) on Ubuntu Mate 18.04.
Can someone please be a kind soul, and send
me those steps? As I said, believe me, I’ve looked like crazy,
but cannot find the message for some incredibly odd reason.
Yes, Andy, I tried the steps you outlined on the phone to find
it, but even that isn’t working.
Thank you.
Chris.
