Ubuntu on PowerPC

Asked by oddvar

I've finally made to install Ubuntu on an old iMac G3. Thank you for making that CD, I could finally install Ubuntu.
But I recognize some problems in Synaptic. Many programs can not be installed because of lacking dependencies.
The computer is OK for, say browsing, but I can not install programs like Gambas or Lazarus.
Have anyone found a way around these problems? I made to install an alternative for Java, but many other programs can not be installed.

try:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You may need extra repos to get the apps (and dependancies) you need, not all repos have support for all architectures

When I follow and install from the link (xxxxxx.all.deb) you sent me I get error "Dependency is not satisfiable: lazarus-ide" from Package Installer.
