Ubuntu
update-manager package

Source cant be found (problem with repository)

Asked by groosam

Installing on 9.04 64 bit

The repository doesnt seem to have the source file needed for installation (it says 0 for the size). When I tried to reload the source list an error message popped up saying the repository index for the program couldn't not be found..?

I've tried to enter multiple inputs
With, deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tp-fan/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main, tpfan, tpfan-admin etc doesnt show up in Synaptic

Help!!

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better. Examining the information you have given us, this does not appear to be a bug report so we are closing it and converting it to a question in the support tracker. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but it would make more sense to raise problems you are having in the support tracker at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu if you are uncertain if they are bugs. For help on reporting bugs, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#When%20not%20to%20file%20a%20bug.

You seem to be having an issue with a PPA which is not an official Ubuntu archive.

Here are the lines that you would need to add to work with the PPA:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tp-fan/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/tp-fan/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

You can reference the PPA here:
https://launchpad.net/~tp-fan/+archive/ppa

Can you help with this problem?
