установка пакетов через http

dselect умер. Надо пользоваться apt-get или, если нужна морда -
aptitude (консольная), synaptic (GUI).

Чтобы качать с http автоматически, надо в /etc/apt/sources.list прописать:

===== CUT HERE =====
# Debian binary repositories
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free

# Debian updates (works only for stable)
#deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security woody/updates main contrib non-free

# Debian source repositories
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free

# Debian update sources (works only for stable)
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security woody/updates main contrib non-free
===== CUT HERE =====

Естественно, там где написано sid, замени на ту ветку, которой
пользуешься: stable, testing, unstable, или по имени: woody, sarge, sid.

По поводу настройки прокси в apt-get см. man apt.conf

watashiwa_daredeska, я /etc/apt/sources.list прописала все как вы посоветовали и при загрузке aptitude мне выдается следующая ошибка:

Coldn't stat source package list http://ftp.us.debian.org stable/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.us.debian.org_debian_dists_stable_main_binary-i386_Packa ges) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing files

Не подскажите что-нибудь? Спасибо!!!

apt-get update или aptitude update (от рута, есс-но).

apt.conf
