[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 324148] Re: Error installing Package - Think there's a wrong version at repository

[Aljoscha Lautenbach]

As far as I know, there are two ways how something like this could
happen.

The packages listing on the mirror ("Packages[.gz|.bz2]" file in the
folder corresponding to your distribution and architecture) you were
using was wrong, for whatever reason. Maybe a synchronization script
screwed up somewhere.

Or maybe you forgot to update your local package listings, by running
"apt-get update" or something equivalent, before you tried to install.

In the latter case it would not be a bug of APT itself. If you were
using some graphical frontend, it may be a bug of the frontend, since
they should probably do the update of the package listings automatically
for you.

I think it would also be good to know how you tried to install the
packages (apt-get, synaptic, aptitude, adept, ...).

Could you provide those 2 informations, i.e. if your local package
listing was up to date, and what tool you used?

I am inclined to set this bug to incomplete. I think I will do that in a
few days, if nobody objects until then.

This error happened when I was trying to install mplayer


When I'm trying to install 
libopenal1

It reports me this error:

W:

Falha ao obter http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openal-soft/libopenal1_1.3.253-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
  404 Not Found [IP: 200.236.31.1 80]

(This is a portuguese translation. "Falha ao obter" means "Failed when getting") 

When I access the package directory at repository there's

http://br.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/o/openal-soft/libopenal1_1.4.272-2_i386.deb instead the package apt is trying to install. (note de difference between versions)

Thank you
