[SGVLUG] dependency issues/hell

[braydon fuller]

Thanks John, and David.

It's now working, mysteriously. I removed it, ran apt-get update, and  
installed it again,
and it worked.

If i try to install something and the package is not found, how do I  
go about finding the right
place to add to the source.list?
