-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, I'm taking my first adventurous steps in the use of a Debian based system (Kubuntu) on my new laptop (LC2464T). (No, I'm not trashing Suse on all of my other systems). I've never previously used an APT based system, so in this sense, I'm quite the newbie. I'm getting an error when I install a package, and I'm not sure how to resolve it. I've googled to no avail. Note in the output below that it says that the file /etc/init.d/cpufrequtils does not exist, and yet (I think) this is a file that belongs to the package which I'm trying to install. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated - thanks! Here's the command and its output from Kubuntu 6.10. ========== # apt-get install cpufrequtils Reading package lists...
