I tried to install the Eclipse IDE and arduino this way:  sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install arduino sudo apt-get install eclipse   But come the version Eclipse 3.8 and the Arduino IDE 1.0.3 and not the latest versions. Would specify which version of the program when I use apt-get install?

Why are packages in the official Ubuntu repositories older than the latest (upstream) versions from Debian Sid, PPAs, the authors, etc.?

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have installed Sun's JDK7, Eclipse, and the Arduino IDE. I want the Arduino to use OpenJDK 6 and want Eclipse to use Sun's JDK 7.   From my understanding I need to manually choose which Java to use before running each application. This led me to the update-java-alternatives -l command. When I run this I only see the following:   java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64 1061 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-amd64   but when I run update-alternatives --config java I see the following:   *0  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   auto mode 1  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java   manual mode 2  /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0/bin/java                   manual mode 3  /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java                   manual mode   I don't understand why the update-java-alternatives doesn't display the same 3 options. I also don't understand how to switch between OpenJDK6 and JDK7. How I can go about using the OpenJDK6 for Arduino development and Sun JDK7 for Eclipse/Android development?

I'm trying to downgrade subversion to 1.6 from 1.7, doing sudo apt-get install subversion=1.6.17dfsg-3ubuntu3. This does not seem to work.   Any idea on how to do this without breaking half the installation?

While looking to compile OpenJDK from source, the newest General Availability version () insists on OpenJDK 9 or 10.  JDK 11, however, is not due to be released until .    However, to my surprise, when I do apt search openjdk the result is:  ... openjdk-11-jdk - OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK) ... openjdk-8-jdk - OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK) ...   No OpenJDK 9 or 10!  And wait, is that OpenJDK 11?  Maybe a Beta release?  Nooo....  So I looked at apt show openjdk-11-jdk:  Package: openjdk-11-jdk Version: 10.0.1+10-3ubuntu1 ...   Why has OpenJDK 10 been packaged as openjdk-11-*??

I tried mysql in my command line :   I get:  The program 'mysql' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5   But when I do:  sudo apt-get install mysql-client-core-5.5   But I get:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done mysql-client-core-5.5 is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 47 not upgraded.   How should I proceed?

Everytime I sudo apt-get update it always not complete and will say in the end  E: Read error - read (5: Input/output error) E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.   Same goes, when I try to install something and do sudo apt-get install &lt;some app&gt;  What should I do ? I admit, that my drive has bad sectors, could that be the reason? Is there anything else I can do?

I just installed Ubuntu 12.10 (amd64), and want to install a recent version of MySQL 5.6.  If possible, I would like to install (not upgrade) it the "Debian Way' (i.e., using apt-get or dpkg).

In the  of Ubuntu, I see that both the 14.04.1 and the 14.04 versions are offered for download. Do I need them both? That is, is 14.04 a prerequisite for installing 14.04.1? Or can I just download the last version ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso?

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y dpkg: error processing libtiff4 (--configure):  libtiff4:i386 3.9.5-1ubuntu1.1 cannot be configured because libtiff4:k386 is in a different version (3.9.5-1ubuntu1) Errors were encountered while processing:  libtiff4 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)   The following commands all end up in the same error:  sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg --configure -a sudo apt-get --fix-broken install sudo apt-get --fix-missing install sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove   How to solve these kind of problems? And what did I do wrong?  UPDATE I managed to get apt working again by downgrading to previous version (3.9.5-1ubuntu1). However, next upgrade led to the same problem. But there is more info now:  (Reading database ...  dpkg: warning: files list file for package `libtiff4:k386' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

I'd like to install the latest Python, which is 3.6 at the time of this post. However, the repository is saying that Python 3.4.2 is the newest version.  I've tried:   $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install python3  python3 is already the newest version.  $ python -V  Python 3.4.2   To upgrade to Python 3.6 on my Windows workstation, I simply downloaded an exe, clicked "next" a few times, and it's done. What's the proper and officially accepted procedure to install Python 3.6 on Debian Jessie?

When installing a software via dpkg -i packageA.deb, will the dependencies required by packageA be downloaded and installed automatically? How is this different from using apt-get or aptitude?

Looking for a utility that allows me insert an item into the list of applications that GNOME knows about.   For example: I have downloaded Eclipse EE (I have some very special plugins that I need to work with, and those plugins don't "like" the version available in the default repository). I'm using GNOME 3, on Ubuntu 11.10. So I want to execute Eclipse w/o opening a terminal and running it.   It must be something very simple.

I would like to upgrade my main system to 16.04, but I work on projects that require OpenJDK 7.   Apparently it is not available from a trivial apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk. Only versions 8 and 9 are listed in the repository.  Can anyone point me to instructions on how to install it?

According to , the current version of Python 2 is 2.7.10.  On my computer, I have 2.7.6:  $ python Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 18:00:18)  [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. &gt;&gt;&gt; exit()   I figured I'd update to 2.7.10 using apt-get.  However, this doesn't work:  $ sudo apt-get install python2.7 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done python2.7 is already the newest version.   apt-get is telling me that I already have the newest version.  What gives?
