    i'm trying to install the dependencies for compiling OpenFrameworks with the latest udoobuntu release
    i'm finding that apt-get is not finding any of the packages

    i've tried updating and upgrading apt-get, synaptic is installed, and my list of repositories in "/etc/apt/sources.list" has:

    deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ precise main restricted universe multiverse

    nonetheless, trying to install things like "openssl" or "libudev" or "gstreamer-app-0.10" with apt-get is giving me:

    "E: Unable to locate package ***"


    does anyone see what i'm doing wrong?

    Have you checked you have a working internel connection + a dns nameserver and default gateway ?.

    log into a terminal and try "ping google.co.uk" and see if it resolves to a ip address

    Have you tried installing via synaptic and see if it will install anything new at all.
    Check the /var/logs and see if you are get errors on the sd card or try making a new image.
    is it a permissions problem ? , No can`t be that because you are installing as a root user with sudo.
